Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 4.0
Severity: normal

Hi,

after the upgrade to 4.0, apt-listchanges showed me this ancient NEWS
when upgrading tor from 0.4.8.6-1 to 0.4.8.7-1.

Reading changelogs... Done
apt-listchanges: News
---------------------

--- News for tor ---

tor (0.2.0.26-rc-1) experimental; urgency=critical

  * weak cryptographic keys

    It has been discovered that the random number generator in Debian's
    openssl package is predictable.  This is caused by an incorrect
    Debian-specific change to the openssl package (CVE-2008-0166).  As a
    result, cryptographic key material may be guessable.

    See Debian Security Advisory number 1571 (DSA-1571) for more information:
    http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00152.html

    If you run a Tor server using this package please see
    /var/lib/tor/keys/moved-away-by-tor-package/README.REALLY

(In this case it even was an especially embarassing topic for Debian...)

Might be related or the same as #1053696 by Russ (X-Debbugs-Cc'ed).
