Okay, it seems nobody is dead against them. I just didn't want to break some policy that I wasn't aware of. I've uploaded my latest package including the ChangeLog. We'll see if anyone objects :).
I don't see any reasons to object. Actually, several users would like to see more changelogs. But then some packagers feel like it's a bit a waste of time, that the info is already available (cvs/svn logs for packages in repos, AUR comments for unsupported). But any packagers who find them useful should definitely include them in their packages. Have a look at /usr/share/pacman/ChangeLog.proto (from pacman package) But just for clarification, you want to log the changes in your package, right, not upstream changes. Because arch packages changelogs are for arch package changes.
