python-apt (and therefore apt-listchanges) are now now installable in
testing again.

Actually, that state has changed over the last few months: it used to be
something else that caused apt-listchanges to be uninstallable. The
problem is that once a package is uninstallable in testing, which
apt-listchanges was due to a complicated "greatest good for the greatest
number" situation a while back, the scripts that manage testing are
completely willing to break more of its dependencies and make it worse,
so it can be quite difficult to get it back.
apt-listchanges is now installable in sarge, and whichever bugs are open
about that alone (not this one) can be closed now.
Cheers,
