I tried searching using apt-file and the results are below: ,---- | $ apt-file -x search "(changelog|CHANGELOG).org" | elpa-corfu: /usr/share/doc/elpa-corfu/CHANGELOG.org.gz | elpa-dap-mode: /usr/share/doc/elpa-dap-mode/CHANGELOG.org.gz | elpa-dape: /usr/share/doc/elpa-dape/CHANGELOG.org.gz `---- Which seems too few. I then searched on Debian codesearch[1], and it looks like all hits are actual changelogs in org mode, and there are other packages also manually handling this either through dh_installchangelogs or through other means. To be extra careful, I also searched for the lower case "changelog.org" and the only hit is from clj-http-clojure[2] which is also in org mode. Hopefully this can help clear the potential false positive doubts. > Best regards, > Niels > [1] https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=CHANGELOG.org [2] https://sources.debian.org/src/clj-http-clojure/3.12.3-2/ -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
