This is starting to happen far too often for my comfort, so I feel the need to rant a bit. After I took the time to track down this bug and send a patch to the BTS, when you finally fixed the bug a year later, the least you could do is to actually document the change in the changelog. Is this really too much to ask? The changelog is not a bug-closing device, it's a place to document changes. This section in the developer's reference has a good set of guidelines for writing useful changelog entries, and I would be forever grateful if anyone who has not read it already would do so. http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-debian-changelog -- - mdz
