Hi Adam,
Thank you for putting this forward, but actually I'm personally
object to trimming changlogs from a normal[1] system. A complete

I don't know man minbase is, so I don't know what you are
talking about.
On a normal desktop/server I'd expect
/usr/share/doc/$PKG/changelog.Debian* to contain the whole history

Hi!
In the rush for cutting away small bits of minbase, it looks like we forgot
a big pile of junk: /usr/share/doc/
On strict minbase (rather than prio:important which really matters), the
