We group our changes functionally. We use JIRA for defect/improvement tracking, so the mapping for us tends to be:
One JIRA issue -> one delta script
The actual contents of a delta can include multiple drop/create/alter table/index statements, critical core metadata fixes, whatever is needed to fix the JIRA issue. For the most part, however, ours are DDL or application metadata only; we handle application data (as opposed to metadata, if that makes sense) separately.
