Hi,
Recent changelog entry includes the following:
* New upstream release (Closes: #455282, #462762)
When bugs are closed by a new package release, it is nice to close those
bugs through the magic "closes:" hint in changelog, but please tie them
to the actual changes related to the bugs closed.
I would expect the bugreports above to be wishlist bugs requesting a new
upstream version of the package to get packaged for Debian. But they are
not - one of the bugs was actually one I was hurt by, and wanted te get
informed when fixed.
As an example, the above coulde be better written like this:
* New upstream release
+ Fixes FTBFS with GCC 4.3 (Closes: #455282)
+ Updated aclocal fixes conflicts with locales package on amd64
(Closes: #462762)
You probably shouldn't change this concrete changelog entry (I believe
it is even forbidden by polic to restrspectively edit changelog), but
please change habits in the future.
Kind regards,
- Jonas
