Rather arbitrarily, just feels more or less safe: cut everything from
before oldstable release. Based on the assumption that oldstable -> stable
updates occur more or less over the whole stable+1 development circle.
So currently, I'd cut everything that pre-dates woody release - probably
nobody will do a potato -> woody upgrade. But woody is still quite a bit
in use, and so those people could track the changelog without looking at
multiple versions even if they do partial upgrades and their system spans
woody to sid. (Obviously some person will have a system spanning potato to
sid and miss the most relevant entry. So never cutting changelogs is
another very obvious possibility....)
