Actually, I think I'd rather have the old changelogs in the source
package and leave it at that, and just include the current changelog in
the binaries.
I wouldn't have anything against renaming the current changelog to
ChangeLog.BETA or something and starting a new one for the 1.0 series.
Or, I suppose worst case (if the changelog is dropped completely), and I
don't feel like generating the log myself, I could install the ANNOUNCE
file as the upstream changelog...
