[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#646013: base: provide package for git-merge-changelog

[Christian Weiske]

Package: base
Severity: wishlist

I'd be nice if debian would ship a "git-merge-changelog" package that
installed the executable of the changelog merging driver for git (part of gnulib).

Code at:
> http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=lib/git-merge-changelog.c

Description:
> http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gnulib@gnu.org/msg09183.html

gnulib is available, but it does not install a separate git-merge-changelog
executable that can be used in git projects.
