Most of them are easy to find by searching extended descriptions. An "apt-cache search changelog" on unstable gives only 11 matches, one of which is apt-listchanges. There are currently over 500 Debian-native packages in unstable, and probably somewhere around 25-50% of these are Debian-specific utilities. It might be a useful project to investigate these and create an index of them. -- - mdz
