That surprises me a bit...
Isn't there any document that describes the differences? I have no plans to
reinstall any of my machines for this. After all, Debian is well-known for
never needing a reinstall, so it would be a pity if this changed.
BTW, can't /media (already created manually a while ago) and /srv (what's the
purpose of that one?) be created during upgrade, just like with adding new
ids to passwd?
