don't you think 'critical' is a bit too much? I don't consider apt/aptitude so unrelated to apt-listchanges. 'serious' would have been enough, but still RC. > Before upgrading from lenny to squeeze I have started by upgrading > aptitude. Due to dependencies, aptitude tells me to remove > apt-listchanges.

Anyhow, I've just committed to the git repo your patch, and I'll upload the package soon.
