Generally you include the upstream changelog as %doc.  I suppose it
would be a good idea to include a summary of major changes in your
package %changelog and it might be worth discussing whether it should
be mandatory when the changes might negatively impact users, as in the
case of incompatible config files changes or the like.  Some people
actually look at the packages before they install them.
