I'm not sure what you are really after, but maybe this helps:
grml's zsh config has a nice function dneews:

% which dnews
dnews () {
	emulate -L zsh
	if [[ -r /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.Debian.gz ]]
	then
		$PAGER /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.Debian.gz
	else
		if [[ -r /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.gz ]]
		then
			$PAGER /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.gz
		else
			echo "No NEWS file for package $1 found, sorry."
			return 1
		fi
	fi
}
