+  dependencies were added as recommendations. See
+  /usr/share/doc/collectd/README.Debian.plugins for details.

   This version introduces significant changes to the layout of the RRD files
   created by collectd. In order to keep your old data you have to migrate it.

   might be necessary to migrate all of your data. In this case, please file a
   bug report so that the necessary changes can be added to the script. The
   script creates the new RRD files in /tmp/collectd-4/ which can be moved to
-  /var/lib/collectd/ if everything went right.
+  /var/lib/collectd/rrd/ if everything went right.
+
+  Thus, the migration can be done like this (you might want to backup your
+  data before):
+
+    /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-3-4.px | bash
+    rm -rf /var/lib/collectd
+    mkdir /var/lib/collectd
+    mv /tmp/collectd-4 /var/lib/collectd/rrd
+
+  Thanks to the new plugin infrastructure, the functionality to write RRD and
+  CSV files and the logging and networking facilities could be removed from
+  collectd's core and put into separate plugins, allowing more flexible
+  configurations. To get the behavior of collectd 3.x you have to enable the
+  "rrdtool" and "syslog" plugins (enabled by default) and enable and configure
+  the network plugin. See collectd.conf(5) for details.
+
+  This also means that a single configuration file is sufficient and there are
+  no longer any different modes that need to be configured. The init script
+  does no longer start one collectd process for each config file found in
+  /etc/collectd/ but only for collectd.conf.
 
   Additionally, the syntax of the configuration file has changed slightly. All
   strings need to be surrounded by double quotes. See collectd.conf(5) for
   details.

+  Please note that there is no longer the need to load any plugins on the
+  server side just to be able to save values submitted by clients. All
+  required information are automatically loaded by collectd. You only need to
+  load plugins which are supposed to collect data locally.
