facility to access the NEWS content

[Patrice Duroux <patrice.duroux@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I do not known if this is the right list to address this, if it has been already
discussed and so it can be considered as noise. ;-)

Packages may provide a NEWS (or any other name, compressed or not, etc.) file
that may be part of the «main» package (like in hwloc vs. libhwloc15 for
src:hwloc) or in a library package (like in the libpipewire-0.3-0 vs.
pipewire/pipewire-bin for src:pipewire).

But as a user is there an uniform / easy (whatever its place and name) to read
it? Like:

- using the command line (apt news ... or dpkg .., etc.),
- or/and by a link in the Debian PTS for instance.

Should this then be entered for the build?
Or using some other data resource using a website or UDD content?
By this last question, I have in mind some remarks in the uscan version 5
discussion.

Many thanks,
Patrice

Note that:
1. I did not look at the Debian Policy Manual if there is a point on that and so
if it may be «randomly» placed by the maintainer(s). It is not really my point
here.
2. It exists apt-listchanges but it do not answer the need here, exact?
