In our project, it is unnecessary. PUPA regenerates such a file automatically 
when the original file is modified, so, if you state that you modified the 
original file, it is enough: we assume that the generated file was 
regenerated as usual, unless you explicitly mention something unusual. This 
is the same as GRUB.

Honestly, I don't understand why it is useful to mention generated files in 
ChangeLog. (I can understand, if such files are generated *manually*, 
though.) The purpose of ChangeLog is to record changes to make it easier to 
find out when and where a certain problem (or a bug) was born. Generated 
files cannot be the real source of any problem in nature, so it is useless to 
state regenerations IMHO.
