One reason I asked this here is that many of the packages that have been
moved from Debian-JP project archive to the Debian project has been stripped
of its Debian changelog.
I wouldn't mind if it were done independently, but if has been in Debian-JP
project for so long a time, I would rather have the changelog.
This question probably applies to the kde packages (which have not
entered Debian until qt2.2) and Helix gnome packages iff any of them
enter Debian.
