+The full upstream changelog is available in the file
+/usr/share/doc/libxml2/changelog.gz in the package libxml2.
+
+It has been removed from the documentation package (i.e. libxml2-doc) to
+avoid duplication of its huge data in the debian archive, while it is
+still available in an other package.
+
+It could have been symlinked, like in the others packages such as
+libxml2-utils, but it would have required a dependency upon libxml2,
+which was not wanted.
