But I want the list of urgency=high packages to be generated and installed
automatically.
Even if I didn't want to do this automatically, apt-listchanges
doesn't give me a way to tell apt to install just some of the proposed
packages. This would be a great (orthogonal) feature, but would
probably be tricky to implement. (I dare you to prove me wrong,
though!)
(I already use apt-listchanges, and am a big fan of it, by the way.
Thanks for such a great tool.)
