Please advertize the new sub-package name, binutils-gold, in a more
prominent place, e.g. in the Summary.

IMHO the most important part of Change's message is a package name where
the ld.gold executable will be moved to. The overlong Change page
mentions it only once and that's in the middle of the How To Test
section.

Thank you.
