Could somebody please point me to the "changelog" file format?  I'm trying
to build the new 'dftp' package but it keeps dieing on the changelog file.

Please respond by email since I _still_ have not been able to subscribe to
this list.

    In theory, theory and practice are the same.  In practice, they're not.

Install the sources of the hello package and look at changelog, that's what
i did.  Apparently the format is

<package> (<version>) <distribution>;urgency=<urgency>

  * <changelog entry>
  * <another changelog entry>

 -- <maintainer>  <date>

with <..> to be replaced by the proper values.

Later,
