(the same was reported to apt-listchanges.)
Dear apt maintainer,
do you think it's acceptable to have apt-listchanges file in the same
location as of those of apt? that's
/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
/etc/apt/listchanges.conf
apt-listchanges can be seen as an "extension" of apt, and it has a
strict depends on it, so without apt it won't be on a user system;
That said, I find it appropriate to have those files in the location
where they are now, and I'd like to hear from you your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
