Hi,

I am a user of apt-listbugs and find the idea of listing bugs very
good. One downside is that bugs have to be manually checked to find
out if and how it applies to the current upgrade.

To be more useful, I am suggesting that apt-listbugs prints which bugs
get fixed by installing a new version, which bugs are introduced and
which are unchanged.

Suggested output for package foo:

Upgrading package foo (1.1-1 -> 1.2-2) will have bugs ...
fixed:
  #11 - foo: displays no output
introduced:
  #17 - foo: displays garbled output
unchanged:
  #10 - foo: it is not useful

This way, administrators can see easier if an upgrade fixes bugs or
even introduces new problems.

Kind regards,
  Bastian
