Time for discussion :-) I don't have apt-listchanges installed because I don't want to be bothered with every single change (new feature, bugfix, upstream version, whatever) of every package every other day that I uprade. IMHO less information is better information and I want messages restricted to changes that break my system. If there are only few, then I actually read them. A consent would be to have apt-listchanges not display the Debian changelog, but only the relevant portion of NEWS.Debian. But then there would be no substantial difference between clicking apt-listchanges output away and clicking a debconf note away. Have a nice day and happy hacking!
