Is comparing dates of different changelogs a serious usecase? Given that
it doesn't neccessarily bear a relation to the date of upload,
particularly if a package build is heavily tested before uploading...

Upload dates themselves are somewhere else in the system...

debian-changes-dist@l.d.o, or something like that? _That_ should be
easy to compare, because it's a single chronological log, formatted
like a set of emails.

Granted, those are not exactly upload dates... But they're prolly closer
to what you think you want to know.
