Bug Description

Using current xenial get_changelog() has

" // Extract changelog entries newer than our current version
 changelog_prefix = g_strdup_printf ("%s (", source);"

"source" is the binary package name though but the changelog uses the source_pkg name

That's an issue with e.g language-selector where the .desktop is "language-selector-common" and that's what the parser tries to use

summary: - changelogs start with source names and the parser use the binary one
+ changelogs start with source names and the parser uses the binary one

Robert, note that the uri = line needs to be updated to use "binary_source" instead of "source"
