This is the typical practice, including all the intermediate experiments
or false starts in experimental.
I sympathize with wanting to clean up some of that, but as a project we
generally have decided to live with that. Most users don't read the full
changelog anyway (user-visible notes should be in NEWS instead, which are
shown to more people via apt-listchanges), and removing versions from the
history has bad effects on the bug-tracking system, historical archives,
etc.
