Looks like calc's alpha 3 packaging work from a few weeks ago.

This the the substance of my objection to ChangeLog. The information
is already in the repository commit messages, or should be, and it's
almost as easy to get at there; perhaps easier when the lists get long.
If you want to ship a ChangeLog file, that's another thing, but it
should be generated from the commit logs, not maintained in parallel.

IMHO. :)

BTW, laziness is allowed, but it's better to do mostly unrelated
things like this as two commits if you remember. Particularly 
something like the reformatting that's hard to review when mixed
with real changes.
