So my memory was correct about the additional purpose of ITPs.  I have
seen that you droped the previous changelog entry for a non-Debian
release.  Since now the entry we are atempting to upload is the only one
I have an additional suggestion for a change which is also in line with
ftpmaster.  There is no point in documenting changes against ... nothing.
So you finally can safe some time of ftpmaster by not letting them read
useless text.  That's why I'm proposing the following change:

If you agree I'll upload that way.

Yes.  It was perfectly correct.
