I agree. I'd like to see a lightweight, standard changelog format for Haskell packages. That way hackage could type-set it nicely, and cabal could easily answer "what's new in somepackage-latest compared to the version I have installed?". I don't really mind what the format looks like, but the Debian changelog format seems as reasonable a starting point as any.
