Thank you for working on this.
My original concern about automatically trimming logs was about convenience
of debugging -- I sometimes need to search among the full history to see
what happened to the package of interest in the past, or to quickly figure
out what change has been made at what time.
Since `apt changelog` can still retrieval the full history, my concerns
are gone.
