There's no diff to the changelog because it is already included in the
upstream sources. I (currently) maintain both of them after all. And I'd
like e.g. potato users to build uptodate .debs for their system by just
grabbing the .tar.gz and rebuilding. But anyway, the zero diff isn't a
problem technically, it just looks quite awkward to me, and I fear it
might confuse some users who happen to look at the diff. But if others
think this is okay, it's also fine by me.
