Convert it to text. Include the html changelog if it makes sense, but
make changelog.gz be the text version. This is actually addressed in
policy for a while:
If the
upstream changelog is distributed in HTML, it should be made available
in that form as `/usr/share/doc/<package>/changelog.html.gz' and a
plain text `changelog.gz' should be generated from it using, for
example, `lynx -dump -nolist'.
