Title:
  "apt-get changelog" doesn't take source package names

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: apt

  Hi

  Currently, "apt-get changelog" doesn't accept source package names
  (e.g. eglibc) nor does it honor -o APT::Get::Only-Source / --only-
  source (e.g. "apt-get --only-source changelog linux"  doesn't use the
  linux source package in Ubuntu but the linux binary package in linux-
  meta).

  at least in the Ubuntu and Debian cases, binary packages are mapped to
  source packages to construct the changelog URLs, so it would seem
  sensible to support source packages as input?

  Thanks!
