Should they? FWIW, I think the package changelog is the packager's
area. And unless it breaks the build, e.g. with unescaped % characters,
I don't care what the package developer puts there. Okay, I give the
hint to add version-release or remind to add a changelog entry if one
is missing. But that's all.

RPM changelog diff:

1. rpm -qp --changelog OLDPACKAGE > old
2. rpm -qp --changelog NEWPACKAGE > new
3. diff -u -U 9999 old new | grep ^+ | sed 's,^+,,;/^++.*/d'
