Jessie, eh?

Don't know quite what to tell you.  If you can't install the pacakge,
verify that you're using a sane sources.list for jessie.  I don't know
why your "apt" has a changelog subcommand.  Did you mix releases?

Turns out, it's in "apt-get" in jessie, not in "apt" or "apt-cache".

... and not working here either.  Oh well.  Maybe that's one of the things
that LTS doesn't bother with?
