Hello everybody,
I think that Policy's section 5.6.18 does not require to include multiple
changelog entries when uploading backports. First, I think that this section
was not written with the support of multiple archive components in mind.
Second, we have a long-standing practice of not including multiple changelog
entries when uploading to unstable a package that had some intermediate
versions uploaded to experimental.
Have a nice day,
