This is not the point. Surely I could download the package
sources and build it on my own, if necessary. But I would
prefer that the promised functionality works as expected.
Updating the changelog file in sync with the upload of the
source package doesn't sound that difficult to me.
Esp. when upgrading an essential (and probably huge) package
like glibc, thunderbird, or a new Xserver I would like to know
what has changed without manually downloading the package.
