Package: apt-listchanges
Followup-For: Bug #425606

I just discovered that apt-listchanges has an environment variable to
set the frontend.  Given that, I don't actually need apt-listchanges
to have support for deciding what frontend to use based on $DISPLAY .
I can simply include the following snippet in my .bashrc:

if [ -n "$DISPLAY" ]; then
    APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=browser
else
    APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=pager
fi  
export APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND


You might consider including this snippet in README.Debian.

(However, until bug 456454 gets fixed, I can't actually use the
browser frontend.)
