This is already taken in account in the current `.buildinfo`
specification [1]:
Changes
Close to the one in `*.changes`. When source and binary versions
differ, the field is added with the content of the extra changelog
entries.
The field is already created by the experimental `dpkg-genbuildinfo` [2].
It is not yet implement in the `srebuild` script but it shouldn't be too
hard.
