Buggy in the sense that existing packages wouldn't comply with the new rules? I don't see this as "buggyness", but more of a simple transition like any other. By this metric, the current state is equally buggy. I see the current mixture of changelog and release logs as proof that maintainers would like to do the best thing for the users, but get tangled by the policy. I had the same dilemma when packaging. I *also* abuse "changelog" to ship the release notes. It feels doubly weird that I have to override the default dh_installchangelogs rule to do this.
