Research direction

Start by tracing changelog retrieval from mintUpdate.py, using the reported metadata.ftp-master.debian.org URLs and the Change Log tab behavior as entry points. Done means package changelogs are displayed for LMDE updates instead of showing “The changelog is unavailable”; verify this with the reported bind9 case.
