Yes. For instance go here:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xmltv.html
If you go to the "Subscription" section, you can choose to subscribe to
various type of notification related to the package.
See the documentation here for more details:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-resources.en.html#s-pkg-tracking-system
