@Jean-Baptiste: Ideally, the update manager should actually retrieve the
link it's proposing and determine if it contains the changes list. Then
either display that or say it's not available.

If the determination can't be done it could say something like this:

# The list of changes could not be automatically retrieved. 
# It might be available at 
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/2.14.3-0ubuntu2/+changelog

Which is at least self-consistent.

Although even in that case it should try to retrieve the URL, and either
definitely say that it's not available (if the URL causes an error or
it's empty), or display the contents saying “The list of changes cannot
be determined with certainty, but it might be this one: [text on next
line]”. This will save the user having to switch to a browser page.

There might also be a “refresh” or “retry” button.
