Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

is it possible for aptitude to use use the changelog installed with the
package in /usr/share/doc/* if fetching from the www fails?

This would be helpful if the package version the changelog was requested
from is is installed (or a newer one is installed) and
* the package is not an official debian package, so no changelog would
  be displayed at all
* the changelog is not (yet) available online: bin-NMU, web not updated,
  ...
* network is currently down

Perhaps a note should be displayed that this is not neccessarily the
most recent changelog ...

IMHO, displaying something is betther than displaying nothing.
