"CHANGES.txt" is not automatically presented.
If necessary, you must integrate it into the "long description".

However, personally, I am not interested in all the details (typically
found in "CHANGES.txt") but some (often implicit) information is
sufficient for me: something like "major API change", "minor bug
fixes". Thus, think carefully what you put on the overview page.

I find it very stupid to see several window scrolls of changes for
a package but to learn how to install the package, I have to download its
source...
