I think he wanted me to delay the upload of the new version (which had
already been delayed for quite a while) until I had more time to get a better
changelog entry written. If another two upstream versions appeared in the
mean-time which fixed bugs for users then that would just be too bad, they
would have to wait until they get a nice changelog entry.

Perhaps I should have included the one-line email from the upstream author in
response to a forwarded bug report saying "I've already fixed that in the
previous version".
