Changelog of deb package

I'm using dpkg -b to build packages with python scripts. (DEBIAN format). In the DEBIAN folder I'have added the following files: compat control copyright changelog The changelog is using the right format. 7zrecover (1.0-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Initial release. (Closes: #XXXXXX) -- Lars Wirzenius Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:25:32 +0000 When I install the package, and I try to display the changelog, I always get This change is not coming from a source that supports changelogs. Failed to fetch the changelog for 7zrecover URI was: http:/// . changelog (the URI is .///. Changelog, the site does not let me post it right) "This change is not coming from a source that supports changelogs." is there anyway to fix this? I was thinking in redirect the source to the computer, and putting a changelog at /usr/share/doc/7zrecover/
