A bad side-effect of the "phoning home" (fetching the changelog from
metadata.ftp-master.debian.org)
is that it tries to bypass the ftp-mirror set in /etc/apt/sources.list;
in an environment with
strict corporate firewalls and an internal Debian mirror the install
currently hangs during the apt-get changelog stage, with "apt remove
apt-listchanges" (seemingly) the only available workaround.
Introducing a "feature" like this should only be done if the meta-data
is mirrored together with the packages.
