I believe that "Big Changelogs" are written in order to conform
to GPLv2 2a:

	You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
	stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

Thus, it is formally required to include changelog into source
distribution.  It is then arguably not required to include changelogs
into binary packages.
