What happened?

When a package is required by an external trigger, Octopus retrieves its latest version information from the feed and writes a log for each trigger, even for triggers that do not require the package. When there are many active triggers and many packages, this can result in a large volume of logs.

Reproduction

1. Create Project1 and Project2
2. Create an external feed with two packages
3. In Project1, create a run a script step with referenced package A and set up an external feed trigger to create a release when package A version changes
4. In Project2, create a run a script step with referenced package B and set up an external feed trigger to create a release when package B version changes
5. In the external feed, increment the version of Package A only
6. View the task log to see that both version information retrieval is logged for both package A and package B for both external triggers
