I did a quick "diff -r -u" on the apt versions 0.7.5 vs 0.7.6. And my guess
was right:

+++ apt-0.7.6/apt-pkg/init.cc 2007-08-02 00:48:14.000000000 +0200

The maintainers of the "apt" package has simply removed the pkgCPU variable in
the
upgrade from 0.7.5 to 0.7.6.
I leave it to the apt-listchanges maintainers to choose whether to raise hell
against
the "apt" maintainers for doing such a thing without even mentioning it in the
changelog - or
whether it is not worth the effort - for all I know, the functionality of
apt-listchanges
does not really need this variable.
