There has never been a 1.52-1 in any repository. I just wasn't aware
that the version number needed -ubuntuNUMBER at the end. The changes
between 1.47-1 and 1.47-1ubuntu1 are going to be the exact same changes
between "1.52-1" (not a real package!) and 1.52-1ubuntu1, because I only
fitted the .diff.gz I took from 1.47-1ubuntu2 in karmic main to match
the files in upstream 1.52. I don't see what you're asking me to do
here: must I just copy the "Merge with Debian unstable; remaining
changes" section from from 1.47-1ubuntu2? And since this isn't a merge
with Debian, but a whole new package version, where do I put this?

The Ubuntu changelog is intact, since my latest debdiff in this bug is
from karmic main's 1.47-1ubuntu2 to this new 1.52-1ubuntu1 (built with
the same .diff.gz, as above, with the new changelog lines). The .diff.gz
I have for 1.52-1ubuntu1 has 768 lines, with a 70-line or so addition at
the top. Again, I don't see what you're asking me to do here.
I know that the -- Uploader Name <email-usern...@domain> line is wrong;
I still don't know who uploads packages, the contributor or the sponsor.
Since I've been following both the wiki pages FeatureFreeze and
SponsorshipProcess for instructions, conflicting instructions arise: the
contributor must have a package ready for upload, but ultimately since
I'm not in MOTU or UbuntuDevCore I have to get sponsored for uploads,
and the sponsorship process requires only a .diff.gz and a link to
upstream source. From the comments in this bug, those pages seem
completely illogical.
Since you are asking me to correct the production of my 1.52-1ubuntu1 package
as that version, should I take your comment as an implicit ACK with upload by
me? should I correct it under the assumption that ubuntu-release only gives
ACKs to completed packages, with upload by a sponsor? Should I sign my package,
or should the sponsor do that? I'm basically confused and put off from doing
much with laptop-mode-tools now. :-/
