+openafs (1.5.61+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+  This version of the OpenAFS client is built with experimental
+  disconnected support.  This support should not change the normal
+  operation of the client unless it is used.  If you wish to use it,
+  please be aware that it is an experimental feature, may not work
+  correctly, and may lose data.  Disconnected mode is configured through
+  the fs discon command, which is not yet documented.

+openafs (1.5.61+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+  This version of the OpenAFS file server is built with demand-attach.
+  Demand-attach completely changes how the file server shuts down and
+  starts up.  Instead of detaching all volumes on shutdown and reattaching
+  them on startup, the file server saves state to disk and restores state
+  when starting, enabling it to start far faster.  Volumes are only
+  attached when used and are detached again if they go unused for an
+  extended period.  Volumes can also be salvaged on demand.
+
+  Demand-attach is experimental.  Please only use this file server for
+  testing.  It is not yet ready to run in a production environment.
