Bug#851229: net-tools no longer priority important, iproute2 is

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist

net-tools's priority has been changed from important to optional while
iproute2 has been upgraded to important.

I think this should be mentioned in the release-notes, ideally along
with a description of the new commands to use for those not familiar
with iproute2.

Hi,

net-tools's priority has been changed from important to optional while
iproute2 has been upgraded to important.
I think this should be mentioned in the release-notes, ideally along
with a description of the new commands to use for those not familiar
with iproute2.

I add a line in "obsolete package" section and a full section at the
end. I didn't find anything in the Debian wiki, so I put a link to the
debian-reference manual.
Please review and comment if needed.

Thanks
Baptiste
