Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synaptic

(wishlist)

In order to sift through the large number of applications that do
similar things, the ability to display and/or sort by the most recent
date in the changelog would be very useful.

of course, what would be better is a traffic light, showing the activity
of an upstream project (and activity of debian/ubuntu packaging which is
often decades behind upstream - e.g. drupal). This could be taken from
sourceforge activity rank, for example.

But we already have easily accessible data in the changelog which will
let users know quickly that whatever random project was last updated
four years ago.

** Affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
