[Bug 1310294] [NEW] apt is missing build-dep changelog and source commands.

[Mikaela Suomalainen]

Public bug reported:

I like that there is now single command to do what previously needed
multiple different commands unless you used aptitude.

I aliased those commands to apt when apt exists and noticed that three
commands are missing.

```
# 100 LC_ALL=C apt build-dep
E: Invalid operation build-dep
```

build-dep is important command to me, I use it often.  And now that apt
has process bar, it would be even nicer to have.

```
# 100 LC_ALL=C apt source
E: Invalid operation source
# 100 LC_ALL=C apt changelog
E: Invalid operation changelog
```

I don't use source and changelog so often, but sometimes I need them
too. I know that I can use \aptitude build-dep, but that is missing the
process bar. I hope to see these three commands and those that I didn't
notice missing, but which are important in future version.
