Certainly, you are right. What I want is that an application (e.g.
aptitude which already offers many convenience tools) would do this for
me... Perhaps using another tool like a script from apt-utils.

Aptitude offers manual inspection of changelog, and it probably could do
some parsing like apt-listchanges which shows only recent changes.

Many thanks for the reply and for aptitude.
