A way to mitigate the problem is to test that the latest changelog entry
actually contains the full NVR (with no macros) and make so that "make
tag" will refuse to tag if changelog does not match expectations
(actually this would help me a lot as I tend to forget to fix
changelog).
This way 99% of the cases we should have a consistent changelog.
