It may be that apt-listchanges could use the info in the future to sort news items. It doesn't have to match the value in the changelog. One nice thing about using standard changelog format is that if someone wants to they could add another format, specialised for news information, and another parser in /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog/. Of course apt-listchanges does its own parsing, so anyone who does that would probably be well served by redesigning the parser interface to something that apt-listchanges can use. Anyway, it's nice to keep that option open. -- see shy jo
