Somewhat helpful to get this information before installation is the menu 
option "download changelog" in the Debian Sarge version of Synaptic 
(currently 0.53.4-1, don't know in sid). Combined with the "upgradable" 
package listing can it be used to read the interesting changelogs right 
before the upgrade. (no package multi-selection possible though...)

Maybe this feature could be implemented also in the Ubuntu version?

PS: ok, after re-reading my text, I actually think this is not a typical 
"user" feature, and probably only useful during pre-release times... ;-) 
I quite like it anyway.
