Public bug reported:

I have apt-listchanges installed.  It is a package that hooks into apt
via Dpkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs and shows me the debian changelog between the
previous and the current package version for each package that is
upgraded.

This works fine in conjunction with regular update-manager updates.

After I used update-manager to upgrade to Edgy, I noticed that
subsequent updates cause apt-listchanges to show too much of each
changelog.  It would appear that apt-listchanges didn't notice the
upgrades done by the distro upgrade, and therefore it shows the
changelogs between the old dapper version of the package and the new
edgy version, instead of just showing the changelogs between the old and
new edgy versions.

If would be nice if update-manager's dist upgrades detected apt-
listchanges and told it to update its seen database.

(I use apt-listchanges because about 75% of the time update-manager's
changelog pane shows "changes not available yet, try again")
