I don't think it's possible. As I recall, Scott said he was going to do a bit
of research to confirm.

This is already possible today, by setting APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none. In
fact, if that meets your needs, I would prefer that you use that approach for
Hoary, rather than adding a frontend to apt-listchanges, since it is simpler and
more robust (no need to worry about whether pygtk is installed, for example).
