Otherwise people who want to look at the full changelog for the currently installed version of the package will have no easy way to do so. They will have to manually find it instead, which isn't exactly an easy process if you do not know where the changelogs are stored online.
apt has the necessary infrastructure already in place and we have https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs
So all one needs to do is to turn it on via # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01-changelogs Acquire::Changelogs::AlwaysOnline "true";If we turn on changelog trimming by default, we should probably also turn on apt downloading the changelogs by default.
