[Bug 822749] [NEW] update-manager no longer shows packager name in changelog

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Since approximately when update-manager was ported to gtk3, update-
manager no longer shows the packager name and date in the changelog
section. If this is a design decision, I'd at least like the ability to
change a setting to turn this back on. I prefer to use update-manager to
install updates while I use the development release but I really
want/need to know who was responsible for a change or an update. It's
both a matter of trust and a matter of learning who the active
Debian/Ubuntu packagers are.

If this is not fixed, I'll either have to use Synaptic or apt-get
changelog to get this information.
