Actually, on second thought this wouldn't work. I actually tried it
previously for other upgrade issues, but the problem is that
apt-listchanges didn't show NEWS items for new packages. Since x11-common
and xserver-xorg are both new packages for an upgrade from sarge, the
program won't show the entry. There's going to have to be something ugly in
the package scripts I'm sure, I just don't know what yet.
