More specifically, Ubuntu packages keep changelog entries for 10 Debian/Ubuntu package versions. At the bottom of the changelog, there is a comment like: # For older changelog entries, run 'apt-get changelog libnautilus-extension1a' apt-get changelog works on Debian systems too; it requires Internet access to fetch the complete changelog. The changelog stripping is done by pkgstripfiles, a bash script in the pkgbinarymanagler package. That package is not available in Debian. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
