My favourite approach would be to check out the actual packaging 
including the upstream sources from git.debian.org (e.g. via 
gbp-clone), check out the latest tag, and then compile and build the 
package using git-buildpackage.

That sounds better at least.

I would not call it misuse, actually it's quite common practice. Look 
at both files, you will see that their content is the same. NEWS is 
just ChangeLog without the VCS noise.

However, this is not our main problem at the moment. ;)
