This is indeed annoying. In most packages, the changelog is almost the entire spec file. Some packagers eventually delete old changelog entries, most don't. SUSE has a %changelog RPM macro that fixes this by moving the changelog into a .changes file stored in the same directory. Every SUSE package uses it. Probably we should too?
