Package: apt-listchanges
Severity: wishlist

I'd like to use less's "lesspipe" mechanism to improve the formatting of
apt-listchanges changelogs. However, the temporary files
apt-listchanges feeds to less have names like /tmp/tmpXXXXXX , which
doesn't identify them as belonging to apt-listchanges. Please consider
using an appropriate prefix on these files, to make them easily
identifiable. The following patch will do that:
diff --git a/apt-listchanges/apt_listchanges.py
b/apt-listchanges/apt_listchanges.py
index b03124d..180a3dc 100644
--- a/apt-listchanges/apt_listchanges.py
