What do you mean?
I've tried as root and got a change in its size:
root@cventin:/home/vlefevre# ls -l /var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94376 2016-07-29 14:57:13 /var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz
root@cventin:/home/vlefevre# apt upgrade -s
[...]
root@cventin:/home/vlefevre# ls -l /var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94456 2016-07-29 16:07:57 /var/log/apt/eipp.log.xz
