apt-listchanges displays NEWS.Debian by default if installed. Nothing *forces* the installation of apt-listchanges, but note that packages use NEWS.Debian for notes at least as important as the one from grub (along the lines of "do this or stuff will break", "$FOO is deprecated", or "no longer contains $FOO functionality, use other package"). - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
