To be honest, I've never understood the purpose of the "include
changelog entries since stable in your .changes" rule. The only place
where they're visible is debian-backports-changes@l.d.o; what
difference does it make to subscribers of that list if _all_ changelog
entries since stable are sent to the list or not, and is it worth the
extra cost and hassle (in terms of additional developer time spent on
re-uploading packages that fail this requirement)?
