Just as a supporting note on this: during today's routine dist-upgrade
against testing I have seen yet another mass update of KDE-related
packages, and this time I've taken the trouble to make a count.

If that count is accurate, there appear to be as many as *43* different
changelog entries (as presented by apt-listchanges) which are identical
except for the displayed package name and exact timestamp. In all cases,
the version number given is either 5.97.0-1 or an epoch-prefixed version
of the same.

This is a considerably larger degree of changelog-list clutter than with
the three packages referenced in the message which opened this bug
report as having identical changelog entries shown at once, and
represents a correspondingly larger potential benefit from the ability
to have them folded together into a single condensed entry.
