if you need any more encouragement, this sounds EXACTLY like the sort of
thing I was imagining that might cause update-manager to fail -- it's
probably not coded to handle the output from apt-listchanges and if it had
come up in testing I suspect they would have added a conflict to the
relevant update-manager package so you couldn't install both at the same
time.
