For Ubuntu systems this could be accomplished by the use of apt-listchanges. A good guide on its use would be the /usr/sbin/apticron script that is part of the apticron package.

Here's the output from having apt-listchanges installed:

There is probably a local copy of the changelog available to parse & include, but if not, it looks like I can use a URL based on the package name:
