Hi,
I am a user of apt-listbugs and find the idea of listing bugs very
good. One downside is that bugs have to be manually checked to find
out if and how it applies to the current upgrade.
To be more useful, I am suggesting that apt-listbugs prints which bugs
get fixed by installing a new version, which bugs are introduced and
which are unchanged.
Suggested output for package foo:
Upgrading package foo (1.1-1 -> 1.2-2) will have bugs ...
fixed:
#11 - foo: displays no output
introduced:
#17 - foo: displays garbled output
unchanged:
#10 - foo: it is not useful
This way, administrators can see easier if an upgrade fixes bugs or
even introduces new problems.
Kind regards,
Bastian

Hello,
quite some time ago you submitted a wishlist bug against package
apt-listbugs, requesting a more verbose output.
Ryan Niebur and I (the current maintainers of apt-listbugs) think that
this requested feature would add more noise than useful information to
apt-listbugs output.
In other words, we agree with Junichi's doubts (see the bug log for
more details).
As a consequence, we are not going to implement this feature.
This message should close the bug report.
Sorry, and thanks anyway for your interest in the package.
Bye.
