I have a machine pinned to experimental with lots of different desktops
and other packages installed and regularly upgrade it to find
obsolete-conffile reports. Currently I have to wade through lots of
complaints from adequate at the end of each apt run. It would be nice if
adequate could compare the results for each package from the last time
it was upgraded with the current upgrade and only report when new issues
are encountered. This would save me looking in the BTS to find out if
bugs have already been reported.

hi Paul,

thanks for the bug report. this is actually a frustration I also have (though
not at the same scale).

let me see if I understand correctly:
- adequate registers in an adequate-specific cache (e.g. /var/lib/adequate/seen)
  which {tag,package} pairs it outputs to the user
- on the very next run, adequate
  - for any given package p that has been considered in this run for which:
    - tag t is triggered, adequate:
      - displays the tag and adds a cache entry if no such {p,t} cache entry
	exists
      - does not display the tag and maintains the {p,t} cache entry if it
	exists
    - tag t is not trigerred, adequate:
      - removes the {p,t} cache entry if it exists

thanks,
Serafeim
