debhelper recently started removing older changelog entries from
binary packages, but the way to get them with apt does not work:

$ zcat /usr/share/doc/apt/changelog.gz | tail -5

# Older entries have been removed from this changelog.
# To read the complete changelog use `apt changelog apt`.
$ apt changelog apt | tail -5

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

# Older entries have been removed from this changelog.
# To read the complete changelog use `apt changelog apt`.

Somehow apt fails to download the other 21 years of changelog entries,
and performs the useless task of showing the truncated shipped changelog.
