Bug#804264: release-notes: LSB drops all lsb-* compatibility packages

[Frank Lin PIAT]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal


This should be worth being mentioned in the release-notes(?)

Quoting lsb NEWS files

lsb (9.20150826) unstable; urgency=low
This update drops all lsb-* compatibility packages, and is therefore an
abandon of the pursuit of LSB compatibility for Debian. Only lsb-release and
lsb-base are kept as they continue to be used throughout the archive.

Compare the package list:
https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/lsb
https://packages.debian.org/source/stretch/lsb

BTW, Debian FAQ should be updated too if this is confirmed.

Hi Didier,

Do you want to propose a wording for this in the release notes? :)

Thanks,
