I think there could be two reasonable responses to this. one is: dont do that! the document is meant to be read as a whole, and if you dont read it properly you cant complain that you didnt see the information that was in there. the other is: this shows that the structure doesnt work. section 5 tries to distinguish between "the upgrade"/"before reboot"/"things in trixie"/etc, but these arnt well-defined categories --- given the sections are contributed by several different people, at the end of a release process (little time for editing of the whole doc as a whole), it is hard to make this work consistently. it would be better to have something simpler in section 5 > I just checked 5.1.28 "Things to do before rebooting" and nothing > related to 5.1.10 was mentioned there. > > After a quick search around section 5, another section mentioning some > actions to take before rebooting in 5.1.16.
