Succint changelogs for Debian packages

2024-12-01 Thread jman
Hi, I've been using Debian for years and one of the question I've always been afraid to ask is: why are Debian changelogs always so succint? For example, I've just upgraded the package file-roller from 44.3 to 44.4 on my testing (trixie) and apt changelog says "New upstream release". In rea
