I cannot remember what I was thinking and the other packages that I installed at that time do not really provide any clues. I did an ‘apt-get -s remove apt-listbugs’ and as expected it did not try to remove anything else -- i.e. so it wasn't pulled in when I installed another package. I'll leave it at that and read the listbugs manual now. See how I can put this mysterious gift from the debian heavens to good use.
