> (I had to use the online version as the changelog installed by the package is unfortunately truncated.)

(You can use 'apt-get changelog' to acquire complete changelogs. We (as in APT team) do not truncate the changelog, but I think its the default in Ubuntu to do this at build-time for a while now to save disk space.)

> This feature is not documented in apt-get(8)despite it seems patched into apt since Edgy. Checked the man-pages of Precise and Raring.

The "feature" is also in apt/debian as it came from there as far as I "remember" (from moving code around). Its just not usable anymore in Debian as the "Task:" line is gone from entries in the Packages files… Not sure what the state in Ubuntu is now, but I assume it is no longer used there, too… (but I haven't checked).
