Binary package hint: update-manager

Certain packages never show changelog items in update-manager. These packages also do not show changelogs on changelogs.ubuntu.com although the changelogs are on Launchpad (e.g. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu1/+changelog)

[TEST CASE]
=============
1. Install lucid
2. Open update-manager and verify that no changelogs are displayed for the affected packages (see list in "Notes" section below
3. Open changelogs.ubuntu.com & verify that the changelogs are not displayed for the version in lucid (e.g http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.15.5.6ubuntu1/)
4. Verify that the changelogs are on Launchpad (e.g https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu1/+changelog)

[Current Result]
=============
There are no changelogs for the latest versions of the affected packages on changelogs.ubuntu.com
Update Manager displays "The list of changes is not available yet. Please try again later."

[Expected Result]
=============
Changelogs for the latest versions of the affected packages should appear on changelogs.ubuntu.com
The "changes" tab in Update Manager should display a changelog of changes for the latest versions of the affected packages

[Work Around]
=============
View the changelogs in Launchpad by navigating to the project's main Launchpad page (e.g. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/) & clicking the "view full changelog" link.

[Notes]
=============
The following packages are affected:
dpkg
samba
quilt
kaffeine
kde-style-qtcurve
geoip
ntp

This is only a preliminary list. There may be more packages affected by this.
