You should really accept the decision of a package maintainer.
However, it really might be better to put a longer statement into
changelog. _But_ it's certainly much worse to re-open a really closed
bug than to make a too short changelog entry. (BTW: You should really
make cleaner why changing of the compiler closes the Bug 194555. The
situation there is fare worse than here. You shouldn't flame until
you're perfekt.)
