A one-liner, see below.

I do not think removing the SPKG.txt files is dumb - I never really like
them. I would rather remove them all in one commit...
(I guess you meant just the changelogs, not all of what's in SPKG.txt,
although I think it would be better to have some [development-related]
sections in separate files.)
Which would ease restoring them as well... :-)
I wonder why not even all "converted" spkgs (whose "metadata" lives in
the "unified" git repo) have their changelogs removed.

These are 63 of 114 packages.
If you want to remove all of those changelogs, just do
$ for pkg in ...; do sed -i '/^== Changelog/,$d'
"build/pkgs/$pkg/SPKG.txt"; done
-leif
P.S.: Updating SPKG.txt often took me longer than making the actual
changes (and I did add the changelog entry to the commit message), since
I wanted others to be able to quickly understand what had been done
*without* having to dig through trac tickets and diffs. I even added
ticket numbers and patch filenames to *previous* changelog entries a
couple of times.
