  that has been fixed in a previous upload.

  that has not been yet, and is at least important IMHO.
  I will deal with that soon.

Bug#319603: apt-listchanges: Problems removing files in postrm

[Lars Wirzenius]

Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.59-0.2

In its postinst, apt-listchanges creates a configuration
file /etc/apt/listchanges.conf. It tries to remove it in its postrm
during a purge, using ucf, but ucf might not be installed when the
postrm runs when purgning (policy 7.2: "postrm cannot rely on any
non-essential packages to be present during the purge phase").

piuparts also claims that the package leaves /var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
on the system after it has been purged, which arguably is a bug as well.
