Often the package in experimental gets superseded with a package in
unstable at a later time (i.e. weeks or even months later).  In that
case the new package uploaded to unstable should most probably
incorporate the changelog entries from experimental as well as those
from the unstable package which it also supersedes, so that package
history is preserved.
