For this, you can hit something like http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tag/?id=release_9.0.2 and get the date the tag was pushed. This is not an information that's directly accessible from within the upstream tarball, so I don't think I can easily include it in the Debian package. > Having some kind of upstream changelog comparable to upstream's could > help also. I agree, but that's also not something available inside the tarball. Would you like to open an upstream bug asking them to package the release notes, and then we can also have it in Debian ?
