I ran into similar breakage, and I agree that this should happen by default.
I also agree that a NEWS file is in order.  

I don't think it is release critical that it contains all changes since
woody.

I've attached a simple news file.  Be sure to change the (version) part if
you're going to use it.

Cheers,
