I would actually prefer to see this dropped. Skipping an LTS is definitely not supported for upgrades, and it's better for us to not carry a delta here if we can avoid it, IMHO. But that doesn't have to be done as part of this merge, it can be done later.

I don't think there's a strong consensus about this. I think it's better to rename the fields so that 'debcheckout' doesn't give wrong results; but I also don't always do this myself.
I've merged this now with only a couple minor changes to the changelog. Thanks!
