   <para>
   <command>apt-changelog</command> downloads a package changelog from
   <ulink>http://changelogs.ubuntu.com</ulink> and displays it through
   <command>sensible-pager</command>.
   </para>

   <para>
   By default it displays the changelog for the version that is installed.
   However, you can specify a different version as the second argument; if you 
   specify <constant>candidate</constant>, it will fetch the changelog for the
   latest available version of that package, i. e. the version which you would
   get with <command>apt-get install <parameter>packagename</parameter></command>.
