Bug Description
I have apt-listchanges installed. It is a package that hooks into apt via Dpkg::Pre-
This works fine in conjunction with regular update-manager updates.
After I used update-manager to upgrade to Edgy, I noticed that subsequent updates cause apt-listchanges to show too much of each changelog. It would appear that apt-listchanges didn't notice the upgrades done by the distro upgrade, and therefore it shows the changelogs between the old dapper version of the package and the new edgy version, instead of just showing the changelogs between the old and new edgy versions.
If would be nice if update-manager's dist upgrades detected apt-listchanges and told it to update its seen database.
(I use apt-listchanges because about 75% of the time update-manager's changelog pane shows "changes not available yet, try again")

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
