Okay, but you have not explained _why_ adding version information to this field is "overloading" it. How does this affect anything? You have not given any reason to not include version information other than the name of the field which if I recall from this thread is called "changelogname". So why is this important to not include version information in this field? Why is it important that this field only contain date, packager name and email? Is there some technical reason why this field should only contain this particular data? What if we called the field "changeloginfo" rather than "changelogname" or whatever it is called now? Would this change things in your mind?
