| However, there were some concerns [3], so we got a new compromise to
| just ship the top 10 changelog records, and add a comment about
| apt-changelog at the bottom. That way, the most interesting entries
| are still shipped, and developers and users will get used to
| "apt-changelog"; this will provide a smoother transition, but still
| get rid of about 90% of the changelog size. This is implemented by
| pkgbinarymangler version 81 (just uploaded).

This looks like a violation of the GPL (v2 at least) 2a):

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

Has anybody looked into that or given that any thought?
