changelog.Debian.gz as a symbolic link

Hi,

I'm packaging a simple library building a shared lib and a development
package as usual. The -dev package depends on the one containing the
shared library. Policy says that it is permitted in this situation to
symlink documentation coming with the -dev package to the files
installed by the shared library package. Is this true in the case of
changelog.Debian.gz?

lintian emits a warning (syntax-error-in-debian-changelog line 0 "found
eof where expected first heading") while linda treats this an error (The
package contains no changelog.Debian.)

Anyway, does changelog.Debian.gz belong to the binary or the source
package? In the latter case it would be reasonable to symlink
changelog.Debian.gz.

Thanks,
