If you are upgrading with graphical update manager, you can see the
changelog entry for each upstream package in the lower window before
update.  You can also do the same thing with Synaptic if you select the
package by name then Package -> Download Changelog

On the command line you can see the changelog with:

aptitude changelog wget (or whatever package name you like)

You can also do it through the web via http://packages.ubuntu.com.
Search for the package name, click on it, then click Ubuntu Changelog on
the right hand side.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
