Like many others here I have also the opinion that this "from $version to $version" information isn't redundant. If the changelog of the updates isn't available, we have no Information about the new package version. And the changelog doesn't show any information about the currently installed package version.

I looked into the source code of the old update-manager version (gutsy) and found the relevant lines in UpdateManager.py. Therefore I created a diff that should revert these changes (note: I'm not a developer). Now I can see version changes again ;).

It would be great to get feedback from Michael Vogt. Perhaps he is willing to introduce this "version changes information" again.
