SYNOPSIS
dh_installchangelogs [debhelper options] [-k] [-Xitem] [upstream]
DESCRIPTION
...
>> An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none is
>> specified,
a few common filenames are tried. (In compatibility level 7 and above.)
FILES
debian/changelog
debian/NEWS
debian/package.changelog
debian/package.NEWS
SUGGGESTION
If upstream contains a chnagelog file that dh(1) does not know, this
simple rule cannot be used:
%:
dh $@
If the file location could be spacified in
debian/PACKAGE.changelog-upstream
then dh(1) could look at that control file for location
NOTES
Sometimes upstream have multiple chnagelog files based on directories:
src/ChangeLog
doc/ChangeLog
..
Perhaps it would be possible to specify multiple file arguments in:
dh_installchangelogs [upstream ...]
and in
debian/PACKAGE.changelog-upstream
