The advantage to include the changelog entries from Debian in the
master tree is that users can see that the packaging is the same and
that it is up-to-date. And user can see which version Debian package
version corresponds to the version from the master branch.

I can often find debian packaging from upstream projects that either
use their complete own packaging or a very outdated fork of the
packaging from Debian.
