There are probably cases where there is no benefit, but is it likely
there are any where it's a *bad* thing to do? If not, then changing the
default behaviour of dh_installchangelogs to '-k' would be a reasonable
thing to do.

I don't actually feel strongly about this, but I would like to make
having two copies of the changelog a bug...
