It's not a packager's job to rehash upstream's changelog. If people
want to learn about that they can look at the changelog that's already
%doc'd into the package or go read upstream's website. What /is/ the
packager's job is to show how else the package changes with every
release - what bugzilla entries it fixes, what patches are backported,
and so forth.
