      dh_installchangelogs: Trim changelogs, remove entries older than oldstable · af652db0
      Gioele Barabucci authored 
      Changelogs of older and heavily developed packages can reach sizes of
hundreds of kilobytes. Even after compression, such big changelogs are
a waste of space and bandwidth worldwide.

This commit makes `dh_installchangelog` trim changelogs to include only
entries more recent than the release date of _oldstable_ (currently
Debian 10 Buster), unless the `--no-trim` option is passed.
