[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1032654: aptitude: missing message about the Debian bookworm change concerning non-free-firmware

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: important

I'm using testing+unstable, and Debian changed the non-free component
to "non-free non-free-firmware" some time ago, and nothing has been
announced. I've recently learnt that with apt 2.6, a message is output
about that with "apt update", but I got nothing with updates from the
aptitude UI.

I have just tried "apt update" and got:

15 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
N: Repository 'Debian bookworm' changed its 'non-free component' value from 'non-free' to 'non-free non-free-firmware'
N: More information about this can be found online in the Release notes at: https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.html#non-free-split

This message should have been displayed by aptitude. Without it, the
user who uses aptitude only may never be aware of this change and will
miss future updates of the concerned packages (which are important for
security reasons).
