Package changelogs

Hi,

I've been using various RPM- and source-based Linux distros for some years, 
and I'm not very familiar with the Debian package management system 
(dpkg/deb, apt and friends). I recently switched all my machines over to 
Kubuntu, and I'm overall very happy. But, in RPM based distros, the 
changelogs of packages were embedded in the package itself, so I could use 
RPM to query for it. This does not seem to be the case with DEB packages. As 
an example, I recently got an updated kernel package installed: 
linux-image-2.6.15-27-686. My question is simple: where can I find the 
changelog for this package ? I like to see what's going on, what's been 
fixed, etc..

Regards,
Øyvind S.
