Bug#207095: last change date not on packages.d.o

[Tomas Pospisek <tpo@sourcepole.ch>]

Hello Dan,

in 2004 you wrote in a conversation with Thomas Hood:

Still feel the same way? I have the feeling like "last change date" is 
something so technical, that only a technically knowledgeable user will be 
looking for that information and for this kind of user it will not be 
terribly difficult to find and correctly interpret the "ChangeLog" link.

You are right about the "potentially massive changelog", but times have 
changed since 2004 bandwidth-wise, so allthough still correct, I'm not 
sure how relevant that argument still is.

?

Maybe the info reachable through the current package info page is good 
enough and we can close the bug report?
