Are you sure about this? I don't know how you generate the NEWS file, but the 
information in this file is somethimes a littlebit useless because there are 
such entries (which say nothing):

    Merge branch 'master' of ssh://dkukawka@git.freedesktop.org/git/hal

The real change info get lost and if you have more than one change per commit 
you have the same problem. Could we may have the changelog optional for make 
distcheck/make dist (So that the distributors can enable it if they need it)? 
This would also allow us to track changes if we release experimental packages 
between the offical releases.
