Sorry for not replying sooner - I've been quite busy recently!

I think c is the nicest solution for users so if you're prepared to
implement it, that would be the best solution. Adding something to the
release notes and possibly the debian/NEWS file is probably OK if not.

I think we need to tell users somehow, so not option a :)

Thanks,
James
