Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: update-manager

if i do this to add a new .deb source and install some packages:

sudo bash <<EOF
echo deb http://software.jessies.org/debian/ ./ >> /etc/apt/sources.list
EOF
wget -O - http://software.jessies.org/debian/software.jessies.org.gpg | sudo 
apt-key add -
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install ~norg.jessies.

when "Software Updates" finds updates, it always says:

  The list of changes is not available yet.
  Please try again later.

wondering what i needed to fix on the server to stop this, i used
Wireshark to see what was going on, and it turns out that "Software
Updates" is checking changelogs.ubuntu.com like this:

GET
/changelogs/pool/main/o/org.jessies.terminator/org.jessies.terminator_4.140.1914/changelog
HTTP/1.1\r\n

though, obviously, even though i could put that file on my own server,
there's nothing i can do about changelogs.ubuntu.com. ideally there
would be a mechanism for third-party package providers to provide change
information to be displayed in the UI.

(checking the source to "UpdateManager.py" confirms what Wireshark
showed.)
