Still it needs to ship a changelog.gz. Which it doesn't.

Even if it linked to the "real" packages changelog(.Debian(.gz
the name should be correct (it ships "changelog") so that the
valid(!) assumption of zless /usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.gz[1]
 works :)

[1] I think we can assume a transitional package is Debian-only, so
a changelog.gz should be ok here, though a changelog.Debian.gz would
of course be better :-)
