For people who have copied an old .profile and added to it, a NEWS.Debian message would help inform them to take action
My personal policy for NEWS.Debian is to use it when it's really needed. For the recent change in the way files in /etc/profile.d are sourced, I used NEWS.Debian to warn the user, because the behavior change is not obvious, and there is no way the postinst may convert files in /etc/profile.d to the new standard. For this change, a missing mesg command is very obvious, the fact that it does not work anymore is quite harmless, and there is already a NEWS.Debian entry from util-linux about this. I think that's more than enough. Thanks.
