Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.82
Severity: normal

During the last update linux-source-2.6.25 version 2.6.25-7 got
installed, however apt-listchanges only did display the changelog for
linux-2.6 up to 2.6.25-6.

I'm not sure why it did so, the changelog does not look special, my
guess is that it took the changelog from one of the other packages
built from linux-2.6 that were only at 2.6.25-6:

# egrep '^2008-07-17.*upgrade.*2\.6\.25' /var/log/dpkg.log
2008-07-17 23:04:54 upgrade linux-libc-dev 2.6.25-5 2.6.25-6
2008-07-17 23:04:54 upgrade linux-manual-2.6.25 2.6.25-6 2.6.25-7
2008-07-17 23:04:55 upgrade linux-source-2.6.25 2.6.25-6 2.6.25-7
2008-07-17 23:06:03 upgrade linux-libc-dev-powerpc-cross 2.6.25-5 2.6.25-6

If that is indeed the problem, apt-listchanges should instead pick
(one of) the binary package(s) having the largest version number to
acquire the changelog from.
