It would nice to require to document (at last for one stable release) all (also user visibe API/ABI) incompatibilities in such files.It is a goos practice, yes. Seems to me that that indicates it belongs to the developers reference?
It is also an API (dpkg-listchanges uses it) and IIRC in last year (or maybe two year ago) the format was standardized (i.e. the same format as debian/changelog). Anyway I would propose the inclusion of NEWS.Debian on policy only after policy will reference it. ciao cate
