Dear Maintainer,

It would be great that if dh_installchangelogs can support CHANGELOG.org
as changelog.

A bit background: CHANGELOG.org is a type of changelog file in Org mode
format[1].  This is becoming more and more commonly used by many Emacs
addon packages, such as dap-mode, corfu, dape, vertico, etc.  It would
be great that dh_installchangelogs can support CHANGELOG.org OOTB so
that maintainers can avoid manual handling.

The change is trivial and I have made an MR at [2].  PTAL.  TIA!

Hi,

I am happy to add `CHANGELOG.org` to the list provided we have data on how many false positives it would have. Basically, how many packages have a `CHANGELOG.org` that is not an org-mode changelog (or where a different changelog would be a better fit).

I think an `apt-file search` through the source indices (or reading the Contents files) might be the most reliable option.

Depending on the results, I would either enable it unconditionally or conditionally.

Best regards,
Niels
