Package: apt-listchanges Version: 2.83+nmu1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 2.5
Hi, I see from the changelog that moving this to standard priority was discussed on devel nearly 2 years ago now. Currently however the chain of dependencies that it drags in extend all the way down into extra. As much as it would be nice to have this functionality by default, I'm not really sure we also want to drag all of those extra things (and the things that they may later also drag in) to the standard system. If people really want this as standard, perhaps they should consider instead implementing it in a manner that only depends on existing standard packages. Maybe even making it a standard feature of apt itself.
