IMHO ITPs are really only useful if you 1) want to make sure no one else
would duplicate the packaging work you are planning (probably unlikely
here, and your mail here is already some sort of ITP), or 2) you want
some extra publicity on debian-devel ;).

The changelog question is orthogonal to that - if you are borrowing
code from the old debian/, I guess you should copy it, otherwise start
from scratch.

If the new binaries are drop-in replacements for the old binaries
(most notably, have the same name), the only coordination needed is to
stop building them from redhat-cluster.
