[Bug 839378] Re: Regression: apt-listchanges always sends changelogs

I can confirm this problem in Ubuntu 12.04 (LTS). listchanges.conf says
"which=news", but nevertheless on each update I get a prompt with the
changelogs, and a corresponding email. That's rather annoying, I'd
prefer only to be prompted if there's really something of importance.

In Debian 6 and 7, the package works fine, so this seems to be an Ubuntu
regression.

Title:
  Regression: apt-listchanges always sends changelogs

Status in “apt-listchanges” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04 apt-listchanges is displaying the
  changes of every updated package when running "apt-get dist-upgrade".
  However I have set "which=news" in /etc/apt/listchanges.conf (which is
  also the default value). In earlier versions of Ubuntu this setting
  worked as expected and apt-listchanges was only displaying new entries
  in NEWS.Debian and not in changelog.Debian.
