Hi Sven,

Hopefully you do get this reply, it looks like Alioth is still
configured to use your old email address sven-deb@ instead sven-debian@
you use now. You should probably update your profile on Alioth.

Why did you squash the changes?

Just rewriting your second change is sufficient. The point is to not
include the closes command in your change description. Hence my suggestion:

  * Change -dev package from M-A: same to foreign.
    (closes: #794317)

Closing the bug in the changelog is important metadata, but it doesn't
describe the change. That's why we commonly append (closes: #nnnnnn)
after the change description, it shouldn't be the change description itself.

You also didn't add foreign, you switched to it. So the wording is
currently very misleading.

Please read up on the changelog best practices in the Developer Reference:

Kind Regards,

Bas
