Carsten, this might help (untested):

(if (featurep 'mule)
    (progn
      (define-coding-system-alias 'iso-2022-7bit-unix 'iso-2022-7bit)
      (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("ChangeLog" . 
iso-2022-7bit-unix))))

Why?  Providing that the above prevents any future file corruption in
the ChangeLogs, it shouldn't matter should it?
