Most debian packages run dh_installchangelogs as part of the package
build process, which handles this:
http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dh_installchangelogs

I'm not convinced the git log is all that useful as part of the package
though, it's often massive and not very informative (>1M compressed for
the server, e.g.).
