You can use this little script:
------ cut here ------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
if ! test -f "$1"; then
echo "Usage: $0 <file.deb>"; exit 1
fi
dpkg --fsys-tarfile $1 | tar xfO - usr/doc/*/changelog.Debian.gz | zless
----------------------------------------------------------------------
