Debian Etch: Three updates today, and how to find out more about them in GNOME

Since I'm keeping my Self-Reliant Thin Client running all the time, every morning that there are new updates to Debian Etch, I seem them right away. We had three yesterday and three more today:

• libmyspell3c2
  
• linux-image-2.6.18-6-486
  
• tzdata

When I was in the Update Manager, I learned that clicking the "Show Details" link allows you to see the description of all the packages in the update as well as the changes made.

For the new kernel image, here's what it says:

Version 2.6.18.dfsg.1-23:

[ Ian Campbell ]
* Fix DMA crash under Xen when no IOMMU is present (closes: #445987)

[ dann frazier ]
* [xfs] Fix attr2 corruption with btree data extents (closes: #498309)

It's a very valuable thing to know why a package has been upgraded. Maybe now in Lenny, when I get new Xorg packages and drives, I'll be able to figure out in advance whether anything is being done to help me with my Gateway video-refresh problems.
