Bug#770533: release-notes: [jessie]: add note about removal of lire (once Bug#770532 has been dealt with)



Package: release-notes
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Once Bug#770532: (RM: lire) has been closed, we should probably add a note
about why lire is not shipped with Debian jessie and mention alternatives
(webalizer and friends).

Bye,

Joost

PS: I'll likely fix this bug myself.  Don't let that stop you from fixing it
earlier, though!
