+1 to this suggestion.  also, if you could attach the output in a
seperate file, it'd be helpful so i don't have to manually fix up
line-wrapping and various charset escape sequences from the mail.

fwiw, i'm starting to hear a lot of noise about upgrades to edgy
similarly sucking. the common thread in all of these seems to be (a) the
use of apt-get instead of the ubuntu upgrade-nanny^H^H^H^H^Hmanager and
(b) the presence of other non-ubuntu-installed packages such as
automatix/easyubuntu.
