Whoever does that (Rob?), please use this version instead:

 http://people.debian.org/~psg/debian-changelog-mode.el

and then we can close bugs #61226 and #61524.

If debian-changelog-mode.el goes into emacsen-common (the most
logical plcae), then, Rob, you are free to take over upstream
maintenance of debian-changelog-mode.el if you wish.  Let me know
so I can delete that version (so we don't confuse users).

If nothing happens and debian-changelog-mode.el is
abandonned. I'll eventually upload a new separate package for
it.  But I don't think that would be beneficial to anyone to have
it packaged separately.

Thanks,
Peter
