Title:
  update-manager can't show changes lists for PPA packages

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Hello!

  I've been a bit surprised that update-manager can't show the changes
  files for PPA packages. Not only that (missing feature), it also
  suggests users to visit a completely bogus address to see the changes
  list (bug).

  For instance, when doing an update for the package amarok14, available
  in my PPA at https://edge.launchpad.net/~bogdanb/+archive/ppa, update-
  manager suggests I look at
  http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amarok/2%3A1.4.10-0ubuntu3~ppa2/+changelog
  for the changes, when in fact they are available at
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24837346/amarok_1.4.10-0ubuntu3~ppa2_source.changes

  Since the PPAs are a very common and useful feature of Ubuntu (and
  getting even more use as time passes), it would be very useful if the
  update-manager would notice when it's doing an update from one of
  these archives and retrieve the correct changes files. (Also, it would
  seem rather easy to find this changes file, at least for PPAs on
  launchpad.net)
