why has apt-listbugs been removed the main packages.

[Tim Webster]

I see apt-listbugs was removed.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-listbugs/+bug/271314
got removed by some people who don't use it.

No need to remove apt-listbugs simply because it asks users for a
response as part of the upgrade process. Asking before upgrading
packages which have bugs that effect some users is a GOOD thing.

Calling apt-listbugs directly as below is also VERY useful!!
apt-listbugs list $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '/   install/ { print $1 }')

Upgrading ubuntu severs is always a dicey afair for me. I NEVER upgrade ubuntu as one shot upgrade. It is risk I simply can not take on servers.
