I'm not sure this makes much sense TBH? The modules in libdpkg-perl (Dpkg::Changelog) are the direct successors of the libparse-debianchangelog-perl codebase [C], and is the code that has seen continued development. Some of the features got removed, to trim down dependencies, and the API adapted to match the rest of the libdpkg-perl codebase, but if the removed output formats are needed, or anything else seems suboptimal or worth improving/adding, I'm happy to work on those.
