Title:
  PPA packages do not show a changelog in update-manager

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in update-manager source package in Yakkety:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing official packages via update-manager, the change log
  is available from a tab in the GUI (next to description).  These
  change logs are not available for PPA packages.  Could this facility
  be added?  When discussed on IRC #launchpad, there was some concern
  this might blur the boundaries between official and PPA packages and
  result in unfounded trust in the PPA packages.
