# `debian-changelog-line-too-short`

The given line of the latest changelog entry appears to contain a very terse entry.

This can make it hard for others to understand the changelog entry. Please keep in mind that:

- It is not uncommon that people read changelog entries that are more than a decade old to understand why a change was made or why a package works in a specific way.
- Many users will read the changelog via `apt-listchanges(1)`
- The information in `debian/changelog` is permanent.

Examples for entries that are too short include "dh 11" or simply "R³" - these could be expanded to, for example:

- Switch to debhelper compat 11.
- Set Rules-Requires-Root: no.

Severity: | `pedantic`
Experimental: | `false`
