Subject: r538:    * Make dh_installchangelogs install debian/NEWS files as
 well, as      NEWS.Debian. Make dh_compress always compress them. The idea is
 to make      these files be in a machine parsable form, like the debian
 changelog, but      only put newsworthy info into them. Automated tools can
 then display new      news on upgrade. It is hoped that if this catches on it
 will reduce the      abuse of debconf notes. See discussion on debian-devel
 for details.
