Conclusion upstream is that we'll need to do this ourselves. I'll try to put
something together.

I'll keep trying to make our case upstream, but if that's a dead end then it
looks like we may have no choice but to add some custom logic to suppress
either Change Log or else Reason and Updates for Debian-based systems. My very
minor preference would be to keep Reason and Updates since the data is a bit
better structured there (which is probably why PackageKit creates them).

Indeed, it seems like we should modify the information we show. Nate, since you
looked into it, any good ideas? :)

I spoke to an Ubuntu developer who said that their .deb packages don't include
a "Reason" field, so this must be coming from PackageKit. Digging a bit, it
seems that PackageKit is synthesizing the Reason and Updates fields from the
original Change Log field, but not dropping the now-duplicate Change Log field.
I've filed https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/issues/227

I'm not going to close this yet since that bug may wind up as a WONTFIX, in
which case sadly our only option is to explicitly suppress the Change Log field
when the PackageKit backend is using .deb packages.

Is anybody using Debian and able to confirm whether this is true for Debian
packages, too? Or is it just Ubuntu packaging?

Hmm, so this is probably Ubuntu or Debian's fault, then.

Arch

This text is provided by the distribution, there's not much we can do from
Discover besides hiding either.

This is what it looks like on ArchLinux.
