Hi,

/usr/share/doc/gnupg-agent/changelog.gz says:

        NB: ChangeLog files are no longer manually maintained.  Starting
        on December 1st, 2011 we put change information only in the GIT
        commit log, and generate a top-level ChangeLog file from logs at
        "make dist".  See doc/HACKING for details.

and no entry since four years. This makes the file hardly useful for the Debian
user. I suggest to either replace it by the mentioned top-level
ChangeLog file, or not installt it at all.

Greetings,
Joachim
