That's why the update notes should be a user-readable list of changes, either provided by upstream (and linked to or pasted in) or summarized by the packager. An FSF-style changelog, e.g.: 2009-04-01 Some Upstream Developer <some.upstream.developer@xxxxxxxxxxx> * foo.c (foo_bar): Change ultraconductivity to 4. is indeed entirely useless in the update notes. Instead, they should SUMMARIZE what changed FROM A USER'S point of view. And if people don't even care about the user-friendly summary, nobody forces them to read it.
