Control: reassign -1 release-notes
Control: retitle -1 document expected warnings for the bookworm to trixie upgrade
I fear these warnings are to be expected when upgrading from bookworm to
trixie or within development releases as trixie is being prepared. This
is a result of the way we choose to finalize the /usr-merge transition
and the only way to not have such warnings would have been to spread the
transition to forky. Consensus has been to accept the warnings in favour
of finishing sooner rather than later.
That said, I see how these warnings cause confusion. We should document
them in the release-notes as being specifically expected in a bookworm
to trixie upgrade, but not beyond.

Best would be a message on the screen too,
during apt-get, saying
"Don't worry about the unable to delete old directory messages,
Pretend you didn't see them."
or something.
