Binary package hint: apt-listbugs

Hi,

apt-listbugs is not very useful in Ubuntu, as the bug reports it shows
may or may not be relevant to the version of the package that it
is installing. This leads to confusion for users, for example
bug 42673 and its 4 duplicates.

It also doesn't interact well with Ubuntu's default upgrade method,
according to bug 62720.

I asked for opposition to this removal in

  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
motu/2008-September/004747.html

and received no opposition.

Please also blacklist the package.

If anyone proposes a modified package that works better on Ubuntu at a later
date it will be welcome back to the archive in my opinion, however, I don't
believe it should be available in it's current state.

Thanks,

James
