That would be a good idea. However I'm not sure if a recipe would be the
best way. Daniel Hobach (dholbach at ubuntu.com) is currently working on
reorganising the MOTU documentation. You should get in touch with him.
You could also ask on ubuntu-motu-mentors at lists.ubuntu.com what are the
main rules for writing a proper changelog entry. You may get more input
on this subject and then write up all the suggestions somewhere in the wiki.
