"Please add this id to the proper changelog entry with the next upload."

That's easily misinterpreted, although I won't try to guess which of us is
doing so.

One thing that this bug illustrates pretty well that is quite annoying
when trying to determine what version of a package actually fixed a
security hole, is new upstream releases that are listed in the changelog
as fixing a particular CVE, when the hole was actually fixed in a
previous debian revision of the old upstream version. That's a case
where clarity is very useful in the changelog. (So is proper use of the
new version tracking features of the BTS.)
