> FYI, aptitude pulls the correct changelog.

Not for me, it doesn't.  I just tried it (hit "C" when pointing to my
own package on my own private hosted repository), and got a big red
dialog that says "You can only view changelogs of official Ubuntu
packages."

I often get questions from people who install my (in-house) packages
asking "how do I know what's changed in a new update of your package?".
I HAVE changelogs, but they are not available in the Ubuntu Update
Manager.  It would be really nice if someone could fix the fact that not
every (privately-built and/or hosted) package changelog can be found (or
expected to live) at changelogs.ubuntu.com.  :-(

The changelogs should ALSO be looked for in the SAME repository where
the package in question was found.

Granted, I could see where some of this might need to be addressed
"upstream" in the debian world, but we're not using debian, we're using
Ubuntu and the Update Manager, and we'd like it to display changes from
non-Ubuntu-hosted changes.

update-manager should have per-package  changelog locations (was: uses 
changelogs.ubuntu.com for all packages)
