Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many times when I update packages on my machine I like to see what has been updated in the new version(s). But with Netbird that information is never available and I have to manually go to the github releases page to find out what has changed in the new version. This is a bit annoying and takes longer time. Would you please make the changelog for each version available in the deb changelog?

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like for this to return some change log:

$ apt changelog netbird
To retrieve the full changelog, 12.4 MB have to be downloaded.
Otherwise we will try to retrieve just the last change.

Proceed with the download? [y/n] y

E: Failed to fetch changelog. Changelog unavailable for netbird=0.57.0

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to go to https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases

Additional context

I would like to see changelog here, same as for most system packages.
