Bug#931566: Don't complain about suite changes (Acquire::AllowReleaseInfoChange::Suite should be "true")

If you plan to add anything that relies on "notifications" in the
Release file, please keep in mind that the mechanism still needs to
work in setups that are supposed to run unattended. Build chroots in
my case, and probably most machines in any data center where there is
no admin typing "apt(-get) update" every other day.

Please don't over-engineer it.
