Hi,
A while back, I tried to selectively update some packages and noticed
that the update information provided by package maintainers (seen via
PackageKit) is sorely lacking.
* Update foo to upstream 2.16.2
Was very common, which is practically useless since it doesn't refer to
upstream or downstream bugzillas or feature list or changelog. Would it
be useful to introduce some guidelines to cover this?

While I'm always trying to be precise in my update notes, I only
maintain a handful of packages. I can understand how putting verbose
update notes can be a daunting task. Also, what's the problem of going
to upstream website to check what changed in 2.16.2? Or to
/usr/share/doc/foo-2.16.2-1? I think that a more sane reason to put
elaborate update notes would be some packaging changes/patches within
one upstream version.
Btw, how about pulling the data from spec %changelog automatically?

Julian
