--- Begin Message ---Package: systemd Version: 257.13-1~deb13u1 Severity: minor Currently, the Debian release of SystemD does not install the upstream changelog document. This file is part of source releases, as the file ‘./NEWS’. The recommendation to install the upstream changelog document is specified in Policy §12.7: If there is an upstream changelog available, it may be made available as "/usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz". The ‘dh_installchangelogs’ packaging rule can make this easy.

An older practice of installing the upstream release notes as "/usr/share/doc/package/changelog.gz" is permitted but deprecated. I am closing this bug report as invalid. -- \ “I watched the Indy 500, and I was thinking that if they left | `\ earlier they wouldn't have to go so fast.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney <[email protected]>
