If you don't mind downloading the source package (at the bottom of the
page ending with .tgz), the changelog is inside. Most source packages
have a debian folder with the debian changelog inside.
If you're talking about checking it _before_ downloading, I agree that
might be a nice enhancement, maybe just the first 100 lines or
something. Also a link to the README would be cool. But I think some
of these things are hard to do considering that the archives are
mirrored all over the world.
