This thread is about aptitude and and two bugs that it seems to have
when using "...changelog...", not about apt-get. Do you suggest that
someone use vi when they have a problem with emacs? Or GNOME and KDE?
Or ...? You could've also suggested reading changelogs on
packages.debian.org as a workaround, it would nonetheless not have
helped with aptitude. Or even, suggested that he switch to Fedora
because "rpm -q --changelog ..." works.
