The wanted solution concerns a particular problem amongst the general
problem ofbrokenness in unstable. Note: I didn't complain that unstable
could break, just like some package (apt-listchanges) didn't handle the
break correctly, and the maintainer doesn't want to handle it correctly
(or at least in a better way). So, I sought to replace apt-listchanges
by another package (or 3rd-party software) that would have similar
features. Hence my question: replacement for apt-listchanges?

Note: there's also the solution to modify /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges
but this is not a 100% satisfactory solution (because conffile handling
in Debian is sometimes buggy).
