An additional note: Due to the OpenSSL problem the sync of the mirror on packages.debian.org was non-functional for a week or so. So there might have been some unusual delays last week. Generally the time until the changelog is available currently can't be faster than a few hours due to the mirroring delays. This really only could be changed by building the changelogs out of incoming. If someone convinces ftp-masters that this is a good idea and implements it, be my guest.
