Package: plymouth
Version: 24.004.60-1
Tags: trixie

This is just a heads up. Maybe to get out in front of things...

I just performed an 'aptitude safe-upgrade' on a Debian Unstable
machine. When the Plymouth installer ran, it produced 50 or so of
these:

Setting up plymouth (24.004.60-1) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.5.0-5-amd64
cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future;

cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future;

cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future;
use --update=none instead
cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future;
use --update=none instead
...

I'm not sure how '--update=none' is more portable than '-n'. It seems
like '--update=none' would be less portable (to me). But nevertheless,
there's lots of warnings during the upgrade.
