+logcheck-database (1.3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  logcheck-database dropped violations.d/logcheck a while ago because it was
+  causing too many false positives and required insane amounts of rule
+  duplication. As a result, unless packages themselves elevate their log
+  messages (and provide their own filters), logcheck now uses only the
+  ignore.d.* layer by default.
+
+  If you prefer to continue use of violations.d/logcheck, then repopulate the
+  file; the violations.ignore.d/logcheck-* filter files are still being
+  distributed (but no longer maintained). They will be dropped in a future
+  release.
+
+  If you don't like this, please work with the package maintainers of the
+  packages responsible for messages that are elevated to security events
+  (violations) and ask them to provide package-specific elevation filters in
+  violations.d/<packagename> and appropriate ignore filters in
+  violations.ignore.d/<packagename>.
