Which is fine ! Most other packages only add "New upstream version" ;-) You could however format it, this way: * New upstream version: * upstream-change * another-upstream-change * ... I think this way is acceptable for Debian changelog format, if you keep upstream-change only to really important one (e.g. one that close a bug).
