Why do you say that?  I disagree, both in general and specifically in
this case.  The reason I filed this bug report is that I was forced to
download the source package to find and read the ChangeLog, which gave
me exactly the information I was looking for.  That's why I took the
time to file this bug.

And regardless of what you think, please see Debian policy section 12.7.

I didn't notice or read the NEWS file ... if it's useful, by all means
feel free to include it in the binary package too!
