stop closing bugs in changelogs with no explanation!
Ramakrishnan,
Closing bugs in changelogs without explanation is abusing the ability
to do so. Your latest cpuid upload had this:
cpuid (3.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
* (closes: #252772)
* (closes: #188002)
* (closes: #260144)
A proper changelog entry might say
cpuid (3.3-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Corrected upstream URL in copyright. (closes: #188002)
* Add amd64 and GNU/kFreeBSD support in control file.
(closes: #252772, #260144)
Without this, I have no way to find out - without visiting all three
bugs myself, or checking the delta between the source packages - what
happened between -2 and -3. Making descriptive changelogs makes life so
much easier for many people using and fixing bugs in/around the package.
Perhaps you should make another upload with a clearer changelog.
NB: You're also NMUing yourself, because you sign as Ramakrishnan
Muthukrishnan but the maintainer of the package is set to Ramakrishnan
M. Pick one.
Thanks
