I am not sure I see the use of such additional information, but anyway
reading /var/log/apt/history.log means that we are assuming that
apt-listbugs will always be invoked from apt.
But apt-listbugs supports other package managers, which do not provide
Commandline/Requested-By fields in history.log (aptitude) or, maybe, do
not log to /var/log/apt/history.log at all (cupt?).

Hence, I am afraid this feature cannot be added.
