  It is named that way because it worked that way before. Though, with
the growing number of packages, the user is often flooeded with many
many changelogs entries he does not care about, so the default setting
is more sensible, as NEWS.Debian are must-reads, whereas the changelogs
are informational.

  As there is debconf to help changing the setup and that the debconf
question is properly worded, the few people wanting to read full
changelogs can change that at apt-listchanges install time.

  This make sense to me, and I wont change that.
