To make it clear, what you get is something like this:

apt-get changelog abrowser
Err Changelog for abrowser (http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_23.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1+6.0trisquel5/changelog)
  404  Not Found
Err Changelog for abrowser (http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_23.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1+6.0trisquel5.changelog)
  404  Not Found
E: changelog for this version is not (yet) available; try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+changelog

Whereas Trisquel changelogs are kept at packages.trisquel.info e.g.

http://packages.trisquel.info/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_18.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.3+6.0trisquel3/changelog

It would appear you've found a bug in the apt-get Trisquelization.  I've raised Issue 9967 here https://trisquel.info/en/issues/9967 for it.

Thanks!
