Hello, please find attached 2 patches.

0001-amo-changelog-parse-into-human-readable-form-and-sav.patch

This one changes amo-changelog to generate two files, debian/upstream/changelog{.html,} with the HTML directly from AMO and the plain version generated by lynx or pandoc, depending what the maintainer thinks looks best.

I have tested this with status-4-evar, tree-style-tab, flashblock, noscript, saved-password-editor, adblock-plus, https-everywhere, firebug, public-fox and believe it produces pretty reasonable output for all of them. If you disagree, please make some constructive suggestions to move forward, instead of merely "it looks rubbish".

0002-amo-changelog-fetch-all-pages-of-Version-History.patch

This one enables amo-changelog to automatically follow and download <link rel="next"> RSS references to the next page. This is dependant on AMO enabling support for this on their website, which is currently pending a pull request from me.

Please review the above patches, bearing in mind the second one is not directly testable yet.
