Right, after further investigation with the help of the Debian
maintainer, it seems that the following is happening...
* CHANGES and doc/CHANGES.html show upstream changes for different
version releases of grace. They are distributed using dh_installdocs
in both Debian and Ubuntu
* ChangeLog is the actual upstream changelog (i.e. a step-by-step
development log). This is distributed using dh_installchangelogs as
changelog.gz in Debian, but is *not* distributed in Ubuntu.
So, the problem is Ubuntu specific - lintian sees the
/usr/share/doc/grace/CHANGES.html documentation and thinks it's the
upstream changelog, because there is no changelog.gz.
The question is whether it's worth adding a lintian override in Ubuntu.
I'm not sure the problem is serious enough for us to branch from Debian.
