"better" isn't an order relation for the { native, non-native } set.

It would be *nice* if debian/changelog listed *only* packaging changes.
It makes easier for other people to figure out if there was a packaging
mistake form one release to the next and makes it easier to fix
packaging mistakes without having to wait for a new upstream release
(or without forcing one). If this is a problem (i.e, means more work),
I guess ChangeLog is being generated from CVS log entries, which is in
general terms a good thing.
