OK, makes sense.

Agreed. However, given that debconf default priority is medium, on most 
installations the debconf question won't be worded at all, and 
apt-listchanges will silently ignore the changelogs.
What about changing the priority of the question to "medium", then?
If we refer to the Configuration Management protocol, this item, as it changes 
completely the behaviour of apt-listchanges, is not a "very trivial item" but 
rather a "normal item that has a reasonable default".

Regards.
