Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.83
Severity: wishlist
Some binary packages, like perl-modules, do not provide a changelog
because they rely on another package to do it. For instance,
perl-modules provides the symlink:
/usr/share/doc/perl-modules -> perl
This means that if such a package is upgraded alone (e.g. because the
other package isn't available yet), the user won't see a changelog,
and may not be aware that he misses a changelog (until the other
package becomes avaiable, but it may be too late).
apt-listchanges should support this case in some way, e.g. either by
(optionally) downloading the changelog from the web or by including
some warning in the output (the warning could contain the URL of the
changelog).

Seems that's it, hence I'm closing the bug.
