+  Fail2ban 0.7 uses client/server architecture and fail2ban-client is to
+  substitute fail2ban command to provide an interface between the user and
+  fail2ban-server. That is why some command line parameters present in
+  fail2ban 0.6 are invalid in fail2ban-client. Such change affects
+  /etc/default/fail2ban; you should review that file if you customized it.
+  Please enable sections as directed in README.Debian.gz mentioned above.
+  You must use newly shipped init.d/fail2ban, or otherwise fail2ban will
+  not start.
+
+  This note was rewritten in release 0.7.5-2 to clarify its meaning.
