[Bug 2015513] [NEW] apt list --upgradeable does not show what can be upgraded!

[Gordon Lack]

Public bug reported:

Packages are now being released in Phased updates.

However, it seems that whereas apt (and apt-get, and even Discover?) are
aware of this, the command, "apt list --upgradeable" is unaware of it
and will report that there are upgradable packages which apt(-get)
upgrade will *not* in fact install.

This makes it impossible(?) to script update notifications, which are
needed as Plasma 5.27 no longer has an Updates entry in the System Tray
- see bug #2009761.
