I wonder whether the upgrade path really is that smooth though. Afterall, both Stefan and I experienced conflicts in the upgrade process on the very same packages (nvidia-nonglvnd-vulkan-common and primus). Less experienced users may not feel confident performing the upgrade as a result, either by `synaptic` or `apt full-upgrade` Maybe displaying an explanation for this particular upgrade via NEWS.Debian could help? AFAIC, I was not aware that NVIDIA had indeed dropped support for 32-bit after release 390 of the drivers. Cheers, Ghis
