Bug#1100397: apt: Changelog unavailable for package (when not latest version)

Sorry, I did search for "changelog" in the bug list, but somehow thought
existing bugs were irrelevant based on bug titles.

debbugs is a nightmare (at least for me) with no issue tagging etc as in
GitLab, GitHub, and I always lose hope and give up sooner than later.
