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

This bug probably isn't so important. I just noticed that when you
enable colours and progress bar, they also appear to apt-* and aptitude.

Title:
  apt is missing build-dep changelog and source commands.

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
