Good point. I'm glad that I filed my bug report despite Russ' bug report.

Anything I can help? This is a Sid installation running more or less
permanently (besides reboots :-) since May 2016. So the
apt-listchanges database might have seen a few packages. Then again,
it seems rather short for > 14'000 installed packages.
I've attached my /var/lib/apt/listchanges file. (State after having
shown that NEWS entry from 2008, though.)
BTW, while trying to figure out where that db could be I noticed that
despite 4.0 is installed according to "dpkg -l apt-listchanges", the
tool itself contains a different version number:
~ → head -2 /usr/bin/apt-listchanges
#!/usr/bin/python3
# EASY-INSTALL-ENTRY-SCRIPT:
'apt-listchanges==3.27','console_scripts','apt-listchanges'
HTH!
Regards, Axel
