Thanks for downplaying the voice of the affected users, but also how would they learn than? Like in this case, it would have just gone into stable without pushback

Did you read the part about the virtual package prompting users to choose if they want the full version or not?

I read the more important earlier version of that part by the maintainer

"This will be painful for a year as users annoyingly do not read the NEWS files they should be reading but there's little that can be done about that."

> the only users who are actually at risk of a surprise change to the keepassxc package are those running testing or unstable releases

> when Debian Trixie is released, upgrades and new installs of the keepassxc package will receive a transitional package that prompts them to decide between "full" and "minimal" packages

If you are running testing or unstable and not reading NEWS files then I think it's your fault - or is that victim blaming :P
