[Pkg-tigervnc-devel] Changelog practices

Hi all Tigervnc package maintainers

I'd like to ask for a little more stringent handling of the
debian/changelog file.
To my knowledge rewriting the changelog history (for more than
spelling correction or similar) is a big no-no.

This did not matter much before the package reached Debian unstable
but now that it has done so I have to ask you for the following:
1) Do not change changelog entries that have already been uploaded.
  I guess it was you Liang Guo that did this when uploading the
1.7.0-dfsg version.
 Please do not change such entries. Instead upload a new version.
2) Do not step revisions that have not been uploaded. In that case
please just keep the version currently in use.
3) Keep the UNRELEASED target until you actually plan to do the
upload. This is not very important but helps to make sure we can do 1
and 2 above.

With this said, I think you do a great job.

I'm now changing to how it should look like.

Best regards

// Ola
