-  This release includes a change that breaks backward compatibility on
-  a relatively unused feature. You are affected if you use ARG0 or ARG1
-  in a POE::Component::Server::TCP ClientConnected callback (RT#47855)
+  In version 1.020 of POE (libpoe-perl version 2:1.020), there was
+  a split upstream of several Loop modules into their own packages.
+  What this means is that the following modules no longer come
+  bundled with POE but must be installed manually.
+
+  * POE::Loop::Tk (available as libpoe-loop-tk-perl)
+  * POE::Loop::Gtk (a candidate for removal from Debian; it needs
+    libgtk-perl, which only exists in oldstable)
+  * POE::Loop::Event (a candidate for removal from Debian)
+
+  It is believed that the removal of these loops will not directly
+  impact any modules in Debian. However, if anything breaks, please
+  contact the pkg-perl team or ask the maintainer to add the loop
+  implementation to their dependencies explicitly.
+
+  Also note that this release includes a change that breaks backward
+  compatibility on a relatively unused feature. You are affected if you
+  use ARG0 or ARG1 in a POE::Component::Server::TCP ClientConnected
+  callback (for details, see RT#47855)
