Native packages are actually easier. We can extract the changelog in a
pipeline, e.g. with tar xzOf debian-native_1.0.tar.gz ./path/to/changelog.
This is very similar to what apt-listchanges already does (but with dpkg-deb
--fsys-tarfile).

I would be willing to work on a new get-changelog.cgi if I knew who to talk to.
Most of the open bugs against www.debian.org have to do with this issue.
