Add changelog attribute to pkg_deb #725

Closed k0walik closed 1 year ago

Allow passing changelog file to pkg_deb rule. This addresses #696 issue.

The open question is if we want to propagate content of the changelog file to generated .changes file (see make_deb.py). According to Debian documentation the Changes field is usually extracted from the changelog file. Thoughts?

It should not automatically propagate to the .changes file. That choice should be up to each target. Personally, I would never put the raw changelog into a binary distribution anyway.
