Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I disagree. I think that
debian/changelog shouldn't try to go too much in detail of the changes
and only highlight the packaging changes and the newly added features.

I think that the information you are looking for should be found in
the upstream changelog (aka bzr history, nowadays).

Ciao,
