I meant something for users, not for developers... Something official, applicable for most
of packages, that have an official link from p.d.o.

I failed to fetch a human-readable patch info for psi in testing from
patch-tracking.debian.net, for example. Also, it would be better to combine several patch
into one user-visible change in some cases, some patches may not be not "listed" at all;
typos' fixes in documentation are good, but not too serious changes to end users, for example.
