new package with an epoch

[Carlo Segre <segre@iit.edu>]

hello All;

I am planning ot upload a package which I have been maintaining for a 
local archive for several years already.  I intended to keep the old 
changelogs as a record of the work that has been done on the package, 
however there is one problem.  During the time I have been packaging 
this and making it available on my repository, the upstream author changed 
package versioning in such a way that I had to apply an epoch.  Would it 
be better for me to just drop the old changelogs and the eopch for the 
first archive upload?  I will risk breaking upgrades for the current users 
(I really don't know how many there are) but it might be cleaner from the 
Debian point of view.

Cheers,

Carlo
