Doesn't alter the point that if "apt --list --uprgadeable" doesn't report what "apt update" would update then it makes it impossible to script a check for whether there is anything to update.
And given that KDE no longer has any update warning in the System Tray such a facility is needed, otherwise you'll never know that *any* update is pending. Since "apt update" is able to decide *not* to update a package it should be possible for "apt --list --uprgadeable" to *not* report that it is upgradeable. As for phasing, "aptitude safe-upgrade" totally ignores it all anyway.

Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Packages are now being released in Phased updates. However, it seems that whereas apt (and apt-get, and even Discover?) are aware of this, the command, "apt list --upgradeable" is unaware of it and will report that there are upgradable packages which apt(-get) upgrade will *not* in fact install. This makes it impossible(?) to script update notifications, which are needed as Plasma 5.27 no longer has an Updates entry in the System Tray - see bug #2009761.
