Where are you reading that ?

Here is the relevant policy :

,----
|      Changes in the Debian version of the package should be briefly
|      explained in the Debian changelog file `debian/changelog'.[1] This
|      includes modifications made in the Debian package compared to the
|      upstream one as well as other changes and updates to the package. [2]
| 
| [...]
| 
| [2]  Although there is nothing stopping an author who is also the Debian
|      maintainer from using this changelog for all their changes, it will
|      have to be renamed if the Debian and upstream maintainers become
|      different people.  In such a case, however, it might be better to
|      maintain the package as a non-native package.
