    |Description: Display new Debian changelog entries from .deb archives
    | apt-listchanges is a tool to show what has been changed in a new
    | version of a Debian package, as compared to the version currently
    | installed on the system. It does this by extracting the relevant
    | entries from the Debian changelog file, usually found in
    | /usr/share/doc/package/changelog.Debian.gz
    | .
    | It can be run on several .deb archives at a time to get a list of all
    | of the changes that would be effected by installing or upgrading a
    | group of packages. It can be configured to do this automatically
    | during upgrades using apt.

    Using aptitude you can also download the changelog before even
    downloading the new debs...

    HTH,
    Flo
