Originally, the debian changelog format was supposed to be "pluggable",
where people would write parsers for different changelog formats that would
extract the necessary information (package name, version, changed-by, etc)
from the changelog file.
As it turns out, the current standard format works entirely sufficiently,
and I doubt that anyone's ever used a different style, so that misfeature
has been removed and the standard format everyone uses is now the One True
And Only Format.
