This field means that Changes.pod is included in the release tarball and Hackage watches for certain filenames like Changes.md or ChangeLog.txt and shows those files as Changelog.

It also means https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/cabal-package-description-file.html#pkg-field-extra-source-files:

Files listed here are tracked by cabal build; changes in these files cause (partial) rebuilds.

I don't want that.

I have just tried it out and changed Changes.pod. It triggers documentation rebuild, but not Haskell rebuild.

I get

In order, the following will be built (use -v for more details):
 - data-default-0.8.0.0 (lib) (file Changes.pod changed)

(And I don't want to rebuild documentation, either.)
