You're fully right.
I already added such a comment to a NEWS.Debian file, but didn't
notice that it wasn't installed, since it must be named NEWS (not
NEWS.Debian) to be automatically installed by debhelper :-(
I'll upload a 3.1-2 soon, which fixes this.
Changing the router.db in postinst isn't a good solution since a
rancid installation can have multiple router.db files at various
places, so only the administrator knows where to find them all...
Tschoeeee
