Bug#873046: linux-image-4.12.0-1-amd64: changelog.Debian.gz should only have changes made by the Debian kernel team and changelog.gz should have the upstream changes.
Package: src:linux
Version: 4.12.6-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
AFAIK there is/was either a policy or a common practise for all
packages to have changelog.Debian.gz giving only changes/patches made
by Debian for the distribution and all upstream changes made by
kernel.org in its own changelog.gz . While I'm sure that the
debian-kernel team would probably have done this with some reason that
is somehow not apparent or unknown here.
I did look at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=linux
to see if I could find any bug-report about changelogs but apparently
haven't found anything.
If there has been some discussion which explains the reason why it was
done (and if memory serves right, we used to have changelog.gz and
Debian.changelog.gz both)
a link to the same would be helpful.
Looking forward to know more.
