That is what i wrote, but is not what i meant: it have a difference meaning if
you take it out of the context, but my english is not so good to commit that i
explained my self. I'll rephrase:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You people told me that:
- If i make a change to a package i've to list my changes in the package
changelog (Matt Zimmerman, no one ever objected this).
- If i build a new upstream, i've to list each change in the upstream
changelog that let me declare a bug as closed; change that does not refer to
the Debian package (but to the original upstream), and that i did not
applied as part of my package working (because it was applied from the
upstream).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second contradict the first, and does not follow what stated in policy
about debian chagelog file (13.7 an 5.3 of policy).

If you mean "read" by the word "list", of course i do. First came the upstream
changelog, then the Debian one.

So the only way to confute my observation is to bring childish arguments to
the discussion?
