but that is part of the problem: this isn't clearly communicated to the end user in the future or present.

Current users will have their install broken and need to google to figure out what is going on.

Future users will install `keepassxc` thinking it would be actually KeePassXC before potentially realizing its a minimal version.

Personally I think splitting it into `keepassxc-full` and `keepassc-minimal` would be better since it moves the choice to the user instead of implying the contents.

How more clearly do you expect it to be communicated?

apt shows the NEWS file during update when there's a change. If it doesn't (ie. user set it up to blindly do the upgrade), you can still check the news file or .debian.changelog.gz file afterwards.

And note that this happened in testing/sid channel, where breakage is supposed to be happen. When this change shipped in the new major Debian stable release in a few years, it'll surely be clearly written in the release notes.

What else do you expect, SMS notification? :P

If a user haven't seen the above he for sure won't see an announcement in a crowded debian-whatever-announce mailing list he isn't subscribed to or an obscure blog post posted somewhere he doesn't follow.

I've almost never needed to read those news to keep the system working as I want it to. That's the thing.
