Control: retitle -1 apt-listchanges should put separate version numbers
in seen DB for each binary package
It doesn't seem like adding a sanitise mode (or a sanitize mode for
those of us on this side of the pond ;-) ) is the right answer here.
Rather, I think we need to understand what is failing about
apt-listchanges' version-checking logic and fix it so that it does the
right thing. The use should not have to clean anything up manually to
see changelog entries.
I believe the root cause of this particular bug is that when
apt-listchanges processes a group of binary packages all associated with
the same source package, it calculates the maximum version number of all
the binary packages and puts that version number in the seen DB for all
of them.
I think after a little reflection (plus looking at the example in this
bug ticket) it becomes clear that's not the right thing to do. Different
packages built by the same source package can have different version
number sequences, and not only that, they can even have different epochs!
The version number that goes into the seen DB should be the version
number corresponding to each binary package, not the "maximum" version
number of all of them in the group.
