When working with NMUs, you can either
1) Incorporate the NMU changelog entries before your new changelog entry
2) Include a separate section in your new changelog entry which
acknowledges the NMU-specific changes and the bugs that they fixed
without including the NMU changelog entries.
Either method is acceptable as far as the BTS is concerned. #1 means
that your version is based on the previous NMU version. #2 means that
your version is not based on the previous NMU version, but that the bugs
that the NMU fixed are also fixed in your version.

such that it can be singled out, by means of empirical tests, in a
negative sense: it must be possible for an empirical scientific system
to be refuted by experience.
