As someone that was bitten by this change I have to admit I've never
seen these NEWS entries, or never realized I had. My Debian servers
are cli only (no X or Wayland). Is this something that gets
automatically displayed when you do an "apt update" or "apt
upgrade"?
Even for backports? If so, I guess I need to pay more attention.

Thanks.

The NEWS entries are supposed to be shown for any package upgrade
(when such entry actually exists ofc., which isn't often the case
since big disrupting changes aren't seen frequently).

I think the main ingredient here is to have apt-listchanges package
installed (which, while part of standard install, is optional).

Thanks,
