Dear Maintainer,

I would like to have:

- the output of apt-listchanges for the upgraded packages in my
  unattended-upgrades mails

- the output of apt-listchanges for all other packages in an
  apt-listchanges mail

This permit to know why a package was automatically upgraded directly in
unattended-upgrades mail.

I provide a patch to override “APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND” only when
apt-listchanges email address is configured and no sendmail is found,
there is no need to force it to none otherwise.

Regards.

+1 on this bug
This would really make the mail report a lot more useful.

Daniel, does this patch work? Can I apply it and test it?
Or does it just put apt-listchanges output into the dpkg log?

Kind regards,
Ondřej Grover
