To help with this part, I would like to suggest the following policy for
merged packages :

  The last changelog entry of a merged package should contain the list
  of Ubuntu changes remaining in the package. Something like:

xxxxx (vvv-1ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Merged with Debian. Changes are:
    + Modified build-dep on libfoo to build on edgy.
    + Added .desktop file.

It would help a lot when trying to understanding changes (no need
anymore to read 10+ changelog entries to understand the reason for a
change!)
