...but something else must be going on as well: That change warned about 
in that accidentally silenced NEWS entry is way old, and what I did 
yesterday on multiple machines was update from 1:2.1.7-2.

Seems to me that if I chose in earlier updates to keep my settings (as I 
suspect many would do, since that worked just fine!) the update process 
should have warned me about changing that file - it didn't!

So regardless of that NEWS bug (which I have now reopened) I believe 
something is wrong here too.
