What’s stopping one from shipping a debian/changelog.upstream and using that instead? If you want to avoid duplicating content from the old upstream ChangeLog, you can always use "cat" at build time. On the other hand, I do agree it would be best for upstream to provide a log with release notes in the distributed tarball, which would benefit everyone. If current upstream is not the only author, that might even be technically required by the GPL (but I am not a lawyer).
