I have to agree with Stephen here. As someone who has been heavily
involved in building packages on OBS, where the Release field is
generated automatically by the build server: I don't see a problem in
automatically generating the release field, I would actually very much
welcome it. But then none of my packages fall into the "Beaufort D'Ete"
category, so I might be missing something here.

For the changelog: yes please, generate it from the commit log! They are
more or less the same for all my packages and I'm getting tired of copy
pasting the same text into %changelog and git commit.


Cheers,

Dan
