And Debian native packages do include changelog.gz instead of
changelog.Debian.gz
I ran a script (should be on ftp-master.debian.org ~barbier/changelog
IIRC) yesterday but could not let it go through the entire archive
because I had to sleep, my impression was that symlink files are not a
problem, and symlink doc directory are frequent but easy to handle.
I'll send a full script when it is finished.
