Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 4.8
Dear developer,
Today I received an e-mail showing twice the same NEWS entry :

--- Nouveautés pour qemu-efi-aarch64 ---
edk2 (2025.02-5) unstable; urgency=medium
The EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PROTOCOL is now enabled by default in the
AAVMF_CODE.secboot.fd image. This is a security feature that will
cause crashes for operating systems with bootloaders that do not
observe proper memory access semantics. Users that experience issues
with such bootloaders have the options to either append the following
to the qemu-system-aarch64 command line:
-fw_cfg name=opt/org.tianocore/UninstallMemAttrProtocol,string=y
or switch to the no-secboot image, which uninstalls this protocol by
default.

--- Nouveautés pour ovmf ---
edk2 (2025.02-5) unstable; urgency=medium
The EFI_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PROTOCOL is now enabled by default in the
OVMF_CODE_4M.secboot.fd image. This is a security feature that will
cause crashes for operating systems with bootloaders that do not
observe proper memory access semantics. Users that experience issues
with such bootloaders have the options to either append the following
to the qemu-system-x86_64 command line:
-fw_cfg name=opt/org.tianocore/UninstallMemAttrProtocol,string=y
or switch to the OVMF_CODE_4M.fd (non-secboot) image, which uninstalls
this protocol by default.

Again, the problem seems to stem from the fact that apt-listchanges
parses changelogs for each binary package, whereas it should do so for
source packages.
