  I cannot fix that in a reasonable way (depending upon db4.5-utils and
db4.6-utils just for that isn't just an option). It's not that I don't
_want_ to fix it, it's just that I cannot (in a reasonable way).

  it doesn't show changelogs for a package it considers new (as it would
else show YEARS of useless changelogs since it's not really "changes").
So you won't see changelogs for upgrades on your _next_ upgrade of those
packages, only for the one after that.

  It has been answered to many people having the problem, I was
convinced I let it in the bug report as well, seems I didn't. I'm not
motivated to do an upload _just_ for a modificated README.Debian (that's
not really package NEWS really) for a python issue, I'm sorry.
