I am curious whether some debconf action, or dependencies in the deb
files, could have warned the user?

Prior to a new release, I wonder if there should be a security-update to
apt that issues a notice to all debian users who use apt, warning them
about a pending release and to prepare such things as sources.list so
that they don't accidentally upgrade without reading the release notes.

It sounds doable, but you have to do it as a package which only contains
the "news" as debconf messages.

Regards,
Andrei
