Yes, it'd be great (Debian bugs #102214, #103889, #108578, #109676, and
#142385), but it's not possible at the moment for technical reasons -
pulling the changelog out of the .deb on a mirror every time somebody
requests it is very resource-intensive, and the lintian lab that used to
make it possible has been out of action for some time.
In the meantime, try installing apt-listchanges, which will let you view
changelogs for the packages you're upgrading after downloading them but
before installing them.
Cheers,
