Hi Thijs,
isn't it anyway impossible to represent linearly the life tree of a
package? Imagine that the version in Sid and Experimental evolve a few
rounds in parallel: when the experimental branch is finally used for
uploads to Sid, some changelog entries will be lost. Same for updates to
Testing and Stable, as well for non-acknowledged NMUs. It is for sure
important to know what Debian distributed at a given time, but I can't
think of an easy way to use the Debian changelog to hold all the
information.
Have a nice day,
