Ah, oops, I forgot dch.  I've been using emacs.  The changelog is  
still something I am somewhat confused by.  I get the idea of course,  
but the not the specifics.  I was under the impression that pkg- 
multimedia uses git-dch to automatically generate the changelog, so I  
stopped editing it.  Also, since this package hasn't been released  
yet, should I still be adding things to the changelog?

The LICENSE.txt file is part of the standard library format.
