Yes, the convention that the changelog will be installed as a plain-text
file named ‘/usr/share/doc/$PACKAGENAME/changelog.gz’ is part of Policy
§12.7.
For an upstream changelog distributed as reStructuredText, this is easy

#! /usr/bin/make -f
# debian/rules
# …

dh_installchangelogs CHANGES.txt

One of which is in the location and format Policy expects it to be.
