WOW guys apt-listbugs is critical package.
Just because stable servers don't track the latest releases. And wait until the releases is stabilized
doesn't mean they don't use ubuntu.

I rely on apt-listbugs for my testing of upcoming pre-release. It
seams ubuntu has removed apt-listbugs from the main package list. This
makes so I can NOT safely install pre-releases. Upgrading ubuntu
severs is always a dicey afair for me. I NEVER upgrade ubuntu as one
shot upgrade. It is risk I simply can not take on servers.

FINE!! What needs to be done to make apt-listbugs refer to ubuntu bugs?

How much difference is there between ubuntu and debian outside of main?

apt-listchanges also refers to debian from my understanding and it is
less important than apt-listbugs.

apt-listbugs is used by server upgrade scripts to PREVENT / WARN of
potentially dangerous upgrades.

For the time being I have manually pulled debian's apt-listbugs and
installed it. It still reports of potentially dangerous "debian"
upgrades.
