I want to see the changelog before deciding if I need to get a fresh
copy of some giant package
>You can get the changelog with qa.debian.org:
>1) go to http://packages.debian.org/foo
>2) go to link 'developer information for foo'
>3) go to link Accepted foo 17.42-143 (i386 source)
I want a predictable URL to get a package's changelog
One that does not need user interaction to figure out the file name.
One that could be fetched with wwwoffle in one shot.

too much for offline modem users
