Parent article: ESR's goodbye note

the ls/sed hack I posted above works on Debian sarge, which (although current stable)
isn't exactly "quite recent". No need for the dpkg log. And as far as I can see, recent
dpkg only keeps a log if you explicitly tell it to anyway. (Though I could be missing
something more recent.)

Buh, I didn't look at the criteria closely. I've often needed a log and found the 'most recent update' information was too lossy.
