Feature suggestion: have comments on changes in Synaptic

Asked by Jenske

Using the standard update manager in Ubuntu, the user sees what changes are to be expected when updating and what these changes are about. In Synaptic, it is nog possible to see why a certain update is necessary or what the change is. For several reasons, I usually prefer using Synaptic and NOT update via the "automatic" update.

It would be usefull to add a button to allow a user to see what the changes about to be to made to the packages mean. I do not want to thumb through a list of all changes to alle Ubuntu distros and all Ubuntu programs, as I do not have all these programs of files. I just want to know what's about to be changed in my computer and why.

Not a priority, but in my opinion a welcome feature.
