Thanks for your bugreport.

I have a patch for apt-listchanges that adds a gtk interfaces (bug #13225).

Another option would be to detects "reads on stdin" in the pty of the vte
terminal widget and expand it automatically. Unfortunately I have no idea how I
could detect that. Ideas are welcome here :)

Bypassing apt-listchanges on the apt level is not feasible as it installs itself
to "DPkg::Pre-InstallPkgs" and that is run deep inside the dpkgpm.cc code. A
enviroment variable "APTLISTCHANGES_NO_ACT" would be a another option (that a
changed apt-listchanges honors).

Cheers,
