Staying close to the changelog format is a good idea, since developers are
already accustomed to scanning this visually.

To the extent possible, the email should reflect all of the changes
represented by the upload. As such, I think the full Changes: section
should be included.

(in fact, it would be even more accurate to extract the relevant stanzas
from debian/changelog and display that!)
