The debian changelog have the wonderful advantage to be sent by mail
when a bug is closed.
This person do not want to see "every change which was made to the
source" neither do her want to see "Debian packaging changes" but want
to see the change about the submitted bug.
To get that information in the mail sent, the only solution would be
to have it included in the debian changelog.
There's at least one other solution: what if, when a bug tagged
"upstream" was closed, the mail sent would include the upstream
ChangeLog (hopefully named ChangeLog in the top directory of the
package)?
Can someone familiar with the BTS code tell whether this change is
trivial or not?
