I disagree that what I did is unacceptable, in the service of fixing an
RC bug.  We had to resolve that problem for the sake of our users.

In addition, I think it is fine if my d/changelog entries simply never
get represented in team git.  They don't really matter -- it's like how
(true) binNMU changelog entries are ephemeral.  I should have said this
earlier.

I wish we had better tools in this area so that upset could be avoided.
