Yes, the PTS is not a "developer-only" tool. It's also for users who care
about a specific software in Debian and they certainly don't care about
the diff of the packaging. They do want to know when a new version comes
out and they may help duplicating bugs and so on. But not much more.
(Well, that's the theory, I never did any study of who the subscribers
are)
