Yes, please stick to the standard conventions unless upstream differs
by much. If the .tar.gz contains NEWS, and you ship that as changelog,
that's just confusing.
FWIW, I often try to summarize the most important bullets from NEWS
into my debian/changelog. I.e.
* New upstream version:
+ Frobbing widgets is now supported.
+ Various tweaks to the gunk-engine.
+ More new bugs than old ones.
Thats good because people reading debian-devel-changes can see it
before downloading anything. And changelog.Debian is in a standard
location for /all/ Debian packages.
