If your uploading to debian the changelog should have the changes that are specific to debian. It should not be left empty or unchanged. The entries are quite straight forward and are more of a summary from debians point of view.
e.g. * New upstream release. * New version * updated control file to do something It would not have every change you have made to barry in it. These go in your barry changelog. Hope I am not preaching to the choir.
