This has practically nothing to do with debian/rules. It is about
renaming upstream changelogs, and having to possibly edit other files
in /usr/doc/<package> to reference that new upstream changelog name.
What I am suggesting is that a symlink is a better way of doing this than
a search and replace of filenames in other docs.

It isn't a rigid policy position. I'd call it a strong recommendation, that
I'd expect to work for >98% of packages.

You've had plenty to say, but I believe you have misunderstood my point in
the discussions so far.
