auto detection of upstream works: psi-plus changelog.txt maildrop ChangeLog cowdancer ChangeLog pbuilder ChangeLog scim ChangeLog nagios-plugin-check-multi Changelog auto detection of upstream does not work: getmail4 docs/CHANGELOG So Ben's patch seems to be good approach. I think manpage of dh_installchangelog should document this case-less detection scheme better in the manpage under DESCRIPTION's following text. | 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.) Instead, it is better to be explicit so people do not need to read the source. | An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none is | specified, a few common filenames (changelog changes changelog.txt | changes.txt) are tried with case-less comparison. (In compatibility level | 7 and above.) Alternatively, if you implement Ben's patch,: | An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none is | specified, a few common filenames (changelog changes changelog.txt | changes.txt) are tried with case-less comparison in the package root | directory and under doc/ and docs/.
