See the man page for dh_installchangelogs
In your debian rules file you can use:
dh_installchangelogs -k {your_changelog_filename}
(the -k is to keep the upstream changelog file name and symlink it to
changelog.gz, feel free to drop it if you wish, it will rename the
file changelog.gz)
or, if using dh7 style rules:
override_dh_installchangelogs:
[tab] dh_installchangelogs -k {your_changelog_filename}
Also, remove the changelog from debian/docs and just let
dh_installchangelogs do it's magic.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Scott
