I would have to go in the control (the one in the .deb) file - how it gets
there is up to the packagers I suppose. Most packages can probably build
it automatically from the change log. Packages like Mark's example can't -
they would have to put it in by hand.
The only drawback from this approach is that it involves significantly
more computation and memory than using simple serial numbers - but it is
more readable.
