The prototype is at: http://dde.debian.net/debchanges/ There's an RSS feed for each Packages or Sources file in the archive, and aggregated feeds as you go up the directory tree. Each feed contains a summary of the changes (new packages, upgraded packages, removed packages) in an HTML table, and a description_json with the same information encoded in JSON for ease of parsing. I'd like to gather some feedback about it before announcing it properly: if you're having a look, please let me know what you think.
