Erhmm, I don't think this is what you really intend to upload? Your
changelog entry above makes no sense for a diff that is 37k lines
long, so there's something obviously wrong with your package...

$ debdiff stretch/intel-gpu-tools_1.15-1.dsc
bpo/intel-gpu-tools_1.15-1~bpo8+1.dsc | wc -l
37220

I've gone ahead and recreated your backported package as you probably
intended it to be (i.e. with the above changelog entry and the patch
you submitted in #829525; see attached 26-line debdiff), and uploaded
it to backports-NEW. As per backports rules, please ensure that you're
subscribed to the backports mailing list if you aren't already (for
the purpose of receiving backports-related bug reports). I assume
you've read all the other rules and are willing to maintain
intel-gpu-tools for jessie's lifespan.

Regards,
Vincent
