I think the purpose is another. It isn't a clear log, it is
a history:

apt-history show
2005-07-08 12:05:29: install  yacpi                                    1.2.1-1
2005-07-08 12:05:44: remove   yacpi                                    
2005-07-08 12:09:33: install  libqdbm11                                1.8.30-1
2005-07-08 12:09:33: upgrade  mutt-ng=0.0.svn+r287-1                   0.0.svn+r316-1
2005-07-08 12:09:33: upgrade  libncursesw5=5.4-4                       5.4-8
2005-07-08 14:41:34: install  note                                     1.1.1-2
2005-07-08 14:41:58: remove   note
But i doesn't know the new dpkg feature very well so do you see a difference. If
noone sees a difference I will close the bug.
Regards Nico
