The pre/postinst files of the new package version are written, such that
the new config file/behavior has to be explicitly enabled by the admin
when the package is updated. Only new installations get the new config
file automatically.

The NEWS file is displayed automatically if the apt-listchanges
package is installed.

Hello Roland,

Please revert this change such that the Debian srptools package is again in
sync with the upstream srptools package and such that SRP users are saved a
few hours of frustration by trying to figure out why SRP login doesn't work
if they would install a version of srptools in which /etc/srp_daemon.conf
disables login by default.

In case you would not be aware of this: I am the maintainer of the upstream
srptools package.

Bart.--
