[Bug 253119] Re: PPA packages do not show a changelog in update-manager

[GNAServicesInc]

Its been 8 years.

At this point is seems like they are not going to fix it for whatever
reason.

Also, I'm sorry, but no. Having something be broken is never an
acceptable means of passing information to the end user. Period.

And now, with change logs collapsed by default, this is beyond pointless
to not have fixed.

Worse yet, IMO, it gives Update Manager appearance of appearance of
being buggy, sloppy, and thrown together. (That is a real shame)

It's the details like this that make the entire OS feel polished or not.

Title:
  PPA packages do not show a changelog in update-manager

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing official packages via update-manager, the change log
  is available from a tab in the GUI (next to description).  These
  change logs are not available for PPA packages.  Could this facility
  be added?  When discussed on IRC #launchpad, there was some concern
  this might blur the boundaries between official and PPA packages and
  result in unfounded trust in the PPA packages.
