Since apt-get has changed behavior and refuses to update if the code name in a Release file has changed from the one it saw before, propellor systems that are tracking Unstable or Testing need a manual intervention after each major stable release (apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change).

(It seems that when unattended-updates is available, it does automatically accept the change.)

I am seeking advice about what propellor should do about this. Should Apt.update include --allow-releaseinfo-change when the host is following a rolling suite?

Or does doing so defeat whatever presumably good rationalle there is for making this a manual action? Or perhaps there is no really good reason apt does this when following a folling suite?
