You're failing miserably because you're looking at it entirely the |
| 9 |
wrong way. Clearly, you don't want "all stable users" to see the news |
| 10 |
item: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
* You don't want stable users who don't have X installed to see the news |
| 13 |
item. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* You don't want stable users who have already done the upgrade, or who |
| 16 |
are installing from scratch after the news item has been written, to |
| 17 |
see the news item. |

What you do want is for anyone who has an old X server / an old libxcb |
| 20 |
installed to see the news item. Thus, you want to use the |
| 21 |
Display-If-Installed header with a < dependency specification. |
