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.

Upstream does not provide a changelog in the orig source. For the
mentioning of the upstream changes, cf. debian/README.source:
[...]
Recording updates in the changelog
----------------------------------
[...]
* For an upstream release candidate, don't attempt to list the changes
* For a stable release by Linus, refer to the summary at
kernelnewbies.org, e.g. https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_4.5
* For a stable update, refer to the changelog on kernel.org, e.g.
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.5.1, and
list all changes that are relevant to our package and that fix bugs
that we would consider 'important' or higher severity
- The script debian/bin/stable-update updates the changelog
version and inserts the list of changes. It doesn't attempt to
filter out irrelevant or unimportant changes.
- The script debian/bin/ckt-stable-update.sh does the same for
stable updates by the Canonical Kernel Team.
- If you have time, please delete irrelevant changes such as:
+ Fixes for architectures not supported by the package
+ Fixes for drivers that aren't enabled in any of our configurations
+ Build fixes for configurations that we don't use
+ Fixes for lockdep false positives
[...]
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Salvatore
