I did not mean that a previous changelog shoud never be included; however, I think one needs to be critical not to include 'virtual' versions on one's own harddrive that offer no real information to the user. I've seen changelogs with the following different versions: (1) initial packaging, (2) fix a typo in this-and-that, (3) update description for lintian, (4) initial release. That just doesn't add anything. It's no disaster of course, but worthwhile to check if including some 'versions' that only you yourself have seen actually makes sense. Thijs
