So changes made in packaging are relevant, as well as "other" changes -- which caninclude significant changes upstream. The bottom line is not one of NIH -- the changelog should contain enough information for the target audience to decide whether or not to install the upgrade. Changes made in new versions certainly affect my decisions on whether or not I wan the new packages, based on materiel provided by apt-listchanges. manoj -- If we don't survive, we don't do anything else.
