It would. However, I think it should only be displayed when installing a new package and ignored on upgrades (anything that should be displayed on upgrade show be in NEWS.Debian). Also, I think it would be best to be displayed after the package has been fully installed. Often the README.Debian contains information about setting up the package, and it would be much more useful if the user could use that information immediately. Are either of these possible with apt-listchanges? -- You win again, gravity!
