Thank you for the suggestions; I agree it is much clearer.

The changelog format is something I personally really struggle with, so
I use tools to hopefully get me closer to being correct. I am using the
auto-complete snippets provided `./etc/snippets`, and it looks like this
is the format defined in:

`./etc/snippets/yas/log-edit-mode/guix-vc-commit-message-rename-package`

I'd love to be able to get these right, and I'll endeavor to do so, but
if the tooling is suggesting unhelpful things, it's going to be a real
struggle for me. Should we update the snippets?
