Bug Description

Binary package hint: apt-listchanges

When installing packages using apt-get from a local repository, apt-listchanges prints errors like this:
E: changelog for this version is not (yet) available; try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xxx/+changelog

Where "xxx" is the package name. Since these packages aren't from Ubuntu, this isn't too surprising. Unfortunately, it doesn't fall back to looking into the package.

apt-listchanges -a <blah> still works.

I think this is fixed in 12.04. My changelogs from other repositories are now being shown to me.
