[Python-apps-team] Bug#666549: mercurial: Please remove the latest NEWS.Debian entry

[Adrian Bunk]

Package: mercurial
Version: 2.1.1-2
Severity: normal

Please remove the latest entry from NEWS.Debian since it
doesn't belong there:

<--  snip  -->

mercurial (2.1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  - pull return code now matches its pre-2.1 behavior

<--  snip  -->

OK, so there was a bug in 2.1 that was fixed in 2.1.1.

It would have made sense to put that into changelog.Debian
for people running testing/unstable and using apt-listchanges.

NEWS.Debian is for the rare cases of serious incompatible
changes in a package.

NEWS.Debian is not for listing all bugs that were present
for a month in unstable and then fixed - that is what
changelog.Debian is for.

It is completely pointless that people upgrading from 1.6.4-1
in squeeze will see this entry.

Please remove this entry from NEWS.Debian.

Thanks in advance
