The entire rationale for the stub was to make things "just work" for
people who don't read the release notes. If it requires they install
a new subpackage they never heard of before, that would still require
reading the release notes, so it's not helpful. (Unless I was to make
postgresql-server require the new subpackage, but I'm sure that would
not be considered good packaging practice either ...)
I understand what you're saying here. I think dropping the stub is the
best path forward here, along with making sure that the new "helper"
commands are in the release notes.
