Yes, we always drop previous changelog when porting packages. 
In the world where only few guys know magic to read it there's no need 
in changelog. 
We keep it only for ourselves, but as detailed as we can, to keep track 
of all changes made. 
So it's not short for me :)

I know that everything except "condrestart" is a taboo. 
I broke those rules here just not to explain how to start daemons. 
This package isn't in repository - so it's allowed. And again, it 
doesn't break anything.

Yeah, came from the original package. Will fix, thanks.

Yes, it's handy and this is huge topic for discussion. 
There's one rule about that we have here: if you just backport a 
package, keep original release number in "Release:" field, if you are 
going to maintain the package yourself - feel free to set up your own. 
95% of repository packages specs are taken from existing packages from 
ALT, Fedora, Mdk, etc. Their patches are not commonly backported 
without good reasons /securtity,memleaks and other cruel bugs/. So no 
point in adding original release number. 

And again, who needs to know package source? It either works, wither 
doesn't. It's not big distro with number of developers. It's cobalt. 

If you want to know the source, it's not secret, it's taken from 
fedora-devel, at-3.1.8-49.src.rpm
