Bug#1024457: "apt changelog" fails to display the complete changelog



Control: severity -1 important

Well, no. You haven't provided a reason and I fail to find an obvious
one as apt's key functionality is hardly effected by a not (by default)
working changelog sub-command… could Debian release with this "bug"
unfixed? Certainly, given that it might/likely fails for other reasons
like the online repository not actually providing changelogs.

That said, severity hardly makes a difference for us anyhow as somehow
assigning severity doesn't magically assign free time as well (at "best"
higher values have a negative effect), so grave or wishlist doesn't
really matter, but I suppose important is closer to your hope of getting
that fixed before the release some way.
