Objections? Does anybody feel a strong need for a Changelog file?
I've used it a lot to look up when stuff might have been fixed (or broken), and in general Debian packages are expected to ship a changelog if possible.
I'm with you. However, including it with the package may not be necessary. I would include an URL in the readme and leave it at that.
Actually, I think I'd rather have the old changelogs in the source package and leave it at that, and just include the current changelog in the binaries.
I wouldn't have anything against renaming the current changelog to ChangeLog.BETA or something and starting a new one for the 1.0 series.
Or, I suppose worst case (if the changelog is dropped completely), and I don't feel like generating the log myself, I could install the ANNOUNCE file as the upstream changelog...
