Bug#927021: release-notes: Additional deprecated-components: spf-milter-python and dkim-milter-python

[Scott Kitterman]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Both spf-milter-python and dkim-milter-python will be superseded by pyspf-
milter and dkimpy-milter in Bullseye. Buster is the release for users to
switch since both are provided. Proposed release notes below.

<listitem>
<para>
The <systemitem role="package">spf-milter-python</systemitem> package
will be removed in the Bullseye release. It is replaced by the
<systemitem role="package">pyspf-milter</systemitem> package. The new
package is far more feature rich and still developed upstream.
<systemitem role="package">spf-milter-python</systemitem> is still
present, users should use the Buster lifetime to migrate to
<systemitem role="package">pyspf-milter</systemitem>.

I'd like to suggest a less repetitive version:

<listitem>
<para>
The packages <systemitem role="package">spf-milter-python</systemitem>
and <systemitem role="package">dkim-milter-python</systemitem> are no longer
actively developed upstream, but their more feature-rich replacements,
<systemitem role="package">pyspf-milter</systemitem> and <systemitem
role="package">dkimpy-milter</systemitem>, are available in buster. Users
should migrate to the new packages before the old ones are removed in bullseye.
</para>
</listitem>

Releasenames are usually lowercase, or of course we could use
&releasename; and &nextreleasename;.

The attached patch puts this at the end of "deprecated-components".
