savelog has moved to debian-utils so that it may be in a bas
Either I'm blind, or the changelogs for debian packages are not part of the
packages. It would be nice if they were, so that when an upgrade takes place,
the user could see what has changed from one version to the next without

I'd like to know if new packages (like dpkg 2.0, xtel, etc) go: I can't
easily find them on the ftp.ibp.fr mirror, for example.
Is there a list of newly released packages with their location in the
Debian archives>?
Thanks,
YA.
