I didn't know about apt(-get) changelog, thank you :)
However, I note there is no direct command to obtain the expected result according to you.
NB: I have a suggestion for your command, same logic but probably less resource-consuming because there is only one pipe:
apt-get changelog PACKAGENAME 2>/dev/null | awk 'BEGIN{FS=">"} /--/{sub("  ","",$2);print $2;exit}'
