    The kernel team decided to switch the default kernel for ppc64el (and
    with this also ppc64) to 4k page size. This is known to break systems
    in some circumstances. We need to document this in the release notes as
    well as in the package.

    It's unclear to me which info is useful directly in the
    release-notes, and what can just be in the kernel NEWS file.

    I've opened an MR at https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/release-notes/-/merge_requests/280

    Improvements & review welcome.
