Nasty!
aptitude was the first to have 'changelog', so if you want to assign blame, I would give aptitude a higher score for not contributing it back in the first place… I am not too much into assigning blame through. Implementing it for 'yourself' is just simpler and quicker as you don't have to invent a (forever stable) API for it. Silly nasty humans, they are so lazy… (yes, even those mighty deity@'s are humans – and they are the worst!) Anyway, the bugreport for this is #739854, which just recently had its first birthday and is tagged 'newcomer'… Someone who is interested in working on this is highly encouraged to contact us!
