Package: apt-listchanges Version: 4.6 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
apt-listchanges installs a timer, apt-listchanges.timer, whose sole job seems to be to attempt to run apt-listchanges.service, a service that only needs to run once per machine, asynchronously rather than doing it synchronously from the maintainer scripts. Using a service for this seems entirely reasonable. However, there are many different ways to kick off a service asynchronously. For instance, you could use `systemctl --no-block start`, or for that matter use `systemd-run` to run a transient unit. Both of those would avoid needing to have a periodic timer.
