The IMHO most important thing is to have as less as possible rules for
the new maintainer to think off, i.e. the aspect of compressing/naming
changelogs: the only thing a maintainer has to do is to identify the
upstream changelog and provide this information to
dh_installchangelogs. The rest like compressing, the right naming
belongs to this script and not to the new maintainer.
This way it's pretty easy for each maintainer to follow the policy
without knowing to much about it. And if policy changes, these changes
are reflected in the helper scripts and voila all new packages are
following the new policy.
Thanks
