Synaptic & Changelog Improvements

I think there are some serious faluts with the way Synaptic handles 
changelogs.

1) A tab next to the descripton would be a better location for the 
changelog.
    Also it should be selected automatically for already installed 
packages, since you
    most probably know what the package is about.

2) The way the changelog is display is as well very unhandy, since it is 
sorted by date
     but the thing which intrests you most is which "urgent" (important) 
changes were made.
    Therefore throwing all the changes between the installed version and 
the most recent version
    together and then sorting them by urgency would be much more suitable.
