Hi,

You can do like for backports.debian.org packages: keep the official
package changelog, and simply add an entry for the backport. Real life
example:

iceweasel (10.0.10esr-1~bpo60+1) squeeze-backports; urgency=low

  * Rebuild for squeeze-backports.

 -- Mike Hommey <glandium@debian.org>  Fri, 26 Oct 2012 13:37:26 +0000

iceweasel (10.0.10esr-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream release.
  * Fixes for mfsa2012-90, also known as CVE-2012-4194 and CVE-2012-4196.

 -- Mike Hommey <glandium@debian.org>  Fri, 26 Oct 2012 15:19:35 +0200

iceweasel (10.0.9esr-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * New upstream release.
  * Fixes for mfsa2012-89, also known as CVE-2012-4192 and CVE-2012-4193.
