Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.61
Severity: normal

exim4-base, exim4-config, exim4-daemon-light and exim4-daemon-heavy
are all built from the exim4 source package, but they have different
NEWS.Debian files. This is to honor the fact that you can run exim4
without exim4-config and wouldn't be interested in NEWS.Debian entries
that only belong to exim4-config, and that you are not interested in
NEWS.Debian entries that only concern exim4-daemon-heavy if you're in
fact running the light daemon.

apt-listchanges mishandles this case and doesn't display all
NEWS.Debian entries. It should match NEWS.Debian files with a
fingerprint (like md5sum) and not silently assume that all binary
packages that are built from the same source have the same NEWS.Debian.

Greetings
Marc
