And Debian native packages do include changelog.gz instead of changelog.Debian.gz I ran a script (should be on ftp-master.debian.org ~barbier/changelog IIRC) yesterday but could not let it go through the entire archive because I had to sleep, my impression was that symlink files are not a problem, and symlink doc directory are frequent but easy to handle. I'll send a full script when it is finished. Denis
