-collectd (4.0.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
+collectd (5.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  Version 5 of collectd introduced a couple of backward-incompatible changes.
+  The full list of changes is documented in the collectd wiki found at
+  <https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/V4_to_v5_migration_guide>.
+
+  In a client / server setups it's generally advised to upgrade the server
+  first. By using the v5_upgrade target plugin, the v5 server will be able to
+  receive and process data sent by v4 clients. This allows one to upgrade the
+  clients at an arbitrary later date. See the wiki for details.
+
+  The layout of various RRD files has changed. In order to keep your old data
+  you have to migrate it. This can be done by using /usr/lib/collectd/utils/
+  migrate-4-5.px. The script will output a series of shell commands that
+  should do all the work automatically. However, depending on your setup, a
+  couple of minor changes 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 will modify the RRD files in place.
+
+  Thus, the migration can be done like this (you might want to backup your
+  data before):
+
+    /usr/lib/collectd/utils/migrate-4-5.px -indir /var/lib/collectd/rrd/ \
+        > migrate-4-5.sh
+    vim migrate-4-5.sh # verify / adapt the script
+    bash migrate-4-5.sh
+
+  Also, the syntax of some plugin configuration blocks has changed. See the
+  wiki for details and instructions how to update your configuration.

+
+  Prior to this version any plugin that has dependencies other than libc6 got
+  its own binary package. As the number of such packages was getting quite big
+  they have been merged into the "collectd" binary package and all plugin
+  dependencies were added as recommendations. See
+  /usr/share/doc/collectd-core/README.Debian.plugins 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
