Package: rtorrent
Version: 0.9.7-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I just recently restarted my rtorrent process, and it refused to start
due to the unknown session_save option in the config file.

Digging a bit, I realized that this was a deprecated option that had
been dropped in this version. But there's never been any warning that
this was a deprecated option, and what to replace it with. I had to
go read the source code to see what this and all other config options
where mapping to.

The upstream source also includes a conversion script for some of the
deprecated options, but not all. Emitting run-time warnings would be
ideal (it seems that might be easy to do in the CommandMap::create_redirect
function), having an up-to-date man page would also be nice. :)

Thanks,
Guillem
