Hummm...
For blaming, there should be the specific name of the responsible in the 
changelog. Also, it seems meaningful to me that the changelog is named after 
the team, it seems to be equivalent to the real world "on behalf of the XXX 
team".

A correct semantics could then be:
$PACKAGE ($VERSION) unstable; urgency=low
