Unfortunately, the mention is still too brief.

The build-dep change is quite significant: perl -> python.  Imagine
someone is trying to debug this.  They read in your changelog "update
build dependencies" -- now they have to start pulling out
debdiff,debcheckout etc. to figure out what the change was.

It is much easier if you just provide details in your changelog.

(btw, it looks like you are responsible for most of the upstream release
-- great work.  This kind of work makes Debian more useful for people
around the world.  Thanks!)

Thanks for your advice. Now I mention the modification of d/control and
d/docs inside the changelog.

New packages have been uploaded onto mentors.d.n and debomatic-amd64.
The git repository on Alioth
(https://anonscm.debian.org/git/chinese/manpages-zh.git) is updated too.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang

Thank you for your reply.

debian/ is not part of the upstream code, so changes should be listed in
d/changelog.  Other Debian contributors should be able to quickly
determine which uploads changed which control files, by looking at
d/changelog.  So please be more verbose.

Sure, please go ahead.

I didn't document them since they look more like implementation detail (e.g, 
upstream changes in build tools, perl->python, README renaming, etc), users 
may read upstream ChangeLog if they are interested. Anyway the version on 
mentors and the one in Git repository are kept in consistency.

Dear Boyuan,

Can I sponsor from
?

If so, I see changes to d/control and d/docs which are not documented in
the Debian changelog.
