Hi,  It would be nice if a link to the changelog of the package (and maybe
version as well) could be added, if the package is available at http://packages
.debian.org/changelogs/pool/$dist/$char/$package/current/changelog.html  I
would see that as a nice feature when looking into regressions.

Hi,

Very dumb idea how to implement that: if we have a full packages.d.o
mirror we could check if the file exists, and link to it. If it does
not, do not show any changelog options. And we always would show the
newest one, which i think is acceptable.

One stat should not be that expensive.

Greetings
Martin

Requiring a full mirror of packages.d.o does not scale.

Ftp-master plans on exporting changelogs too, and maybe/hopefully they
will provide a sane interface and a nice index file we can use for this
purpose.
