Package: apticron
Version: 1.1.7
Severity: wishlist

We had this discussion in email before this package entered the archive.
Since we disagreed at the time, I'm filing this as a wishlist.

Currently, the apt-listchanges stderr is redirected to /dev/null.  This
makes it difficult to debug problems.  In normal operation, this only
serves to hide the "Reading changelogs..." line.

Personally, I don't think it would be terrible for that line to appear
in the apticron report.  If you disagree, it could be removed by piping
the output through grep -v.  You didn't like that suggestion because it
wasn't localizable.

Ideally, apt-listchanges would provide a -q switch to eliminate that line.
