Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 3.22+nmu2
Severity: important

Hi,

sometimes, apt-listchanges doesn't show NEWS entries when it is supposed
to show them.
I suspect this happens, when a src package builds multiple binary
packages and the NEWS entry is not from the "main" binary package.

A specific case is src:systemd which builds the udev package
See 
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/113#note_207684
which illustrates the problem.

If I upgrade udev alone, the NEWS entry for udev is shown.
If I upgrade all binary packages from src:systemd, the NEWS entry is not
shown.

The test VM is still available, so if you want me to run further
diagnostics, please let me know.

Regards,
Michael
