I don't think that the Debian project should lead this discussion. How many derivatives currently automatically parse the changelogs to update their bug tracking systems?

No, I don't think that Debian is responsible for helping derivatives to automate the updating of the derivatives' bug tracking systems. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with cooperating with Ubuntu or other derivatives. But I think that joint efforts should make Debian better. If not then I wonder if Debian should do the efforts. > So I'd propose to extend the changelog format I have not yet studied your proposal, because I want to get some bugs fixed before etch releases. :) Regards, Bart Martens
