I believe that the package manager should (optionally) show a short “News” for each package that is updated.
Example: package _X_ is updated, and the developer knows that this will cause issues in package _Y_ but plans to fix it tomorrow. Printing this info to the screen when _X_ is updated would save lots of troubles for many of us.

Perhaps the message could be obtained from the release description from the tags on github? This should typically contain that sort of information and would simply need to be downloaded and printed.
