Well, the problem is:  Most (La)TeX packages, if developed at all, do
keep some kind of changelog, but there's no convention how it's named.
The majority probably uses a "Changes" section in the documentation PDF
or DVI.

Therefore I think it's hard for us Debian maintainers to give pointers.
What I intend to do, however, is contact the pstricks people and ask
them to keep a changelog at all, in whichever format they like.  My
question about a suggested location aimed at getting an idea what to ask
from them, but well, they'll have to decide it by themselves.

Regards, Frank
