[Pkg-zsh-devel] Populate NEWS.Debian with upstream's list of incompatibilities?

[Daniel Shahaf]

Upstream documents incompatibilities in README.  For example, the current set is:

[[[
Incompatibilities since 5.7.1
-----------------------------

The history expansion !:1:t2 used to be interpreted such that the 2
was a separate character added after the history expansion.  Now
it is an argument to the :t modifier.

For example

% echo /my/interesting/path
% echo !:1:t2

used to echo "path2", but now echoes "interesting/path".

The behaviour of :h has similarly changed.

The behaviour has also changed in forms such as ${foo:t2) and *(:t2),
but in those cases the previous behaviour was not meaningful.
]]]

Should these be copied to NEWS.Debian so apt-listchanges(1), etc., find
them easily?  I don't mean just the "since 5.7.1" set, but whether we
should do this for every upstream release that adds incompatibilities
to README.

Cheers,

Daniel
