This obviously isn't achieved when the Changed-By: differs between the initial upload and later (re-)builds. Also, "the people who has changed the package" from the archive's POV is the person who signed the upload. For the package's users the Changed-By: is rather irrelevant, they have Maintainer: encoded in the package (which stems from the control file, not from the changelog). > BTW, I'm the person who "recommended" to Rafael that kind of "changelog > schema" based on the practices of the Debian Qt/KDE team.
