Unless I am mistaken, the first two points I made:

- when you right-click a package, all the options available if you were
to select "Package" from the menu should be available (e.g. "Download
Changelog" is not currently available)

- when you right-click a package and select Properties (or if you go
Settings -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance and check "show package
properties in the main window"), it would be nice if one of the tabs was
"Changelog" and clicking it would automatically download the changelog
for the package.

are also covered by bug 18683, so I will remove them from this one :)

** Summary changed:

- Multiple feature requests for Ubuntu's Synaptic
+ Synaptic lacks good package cache management settings

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: synaptic
- 
- I'm using Synaptic in Dapper and here are some features that I would
- like to see added:
- 
- - when you right-click a package, all the options available if you were
- to select "Package" from the menu should be available (e.g. "Download
- Changelog" is not currently available)
- 
- - when you right-click a package and select Properties (or if you go
- Settings -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance and check "show package
- properties in the main window"), it would be nice if one of the tabs was
- "Changelog" and clicking it would automatically download the changelog
- for the package.
- 
- - under Settings -> Preferences -> Files (tab) there are options to
- delete cached packages, however the ones that would make the most sense
- are not offered, namely 'delete cached package files older than' with an
- option to set a number of days or 'limit the package cache to' with an
- option to set a number of MB.
