Unfortunately, the mention is still too brief.

The build-dep change is quite significant: perl -> python.  Imagine
someone is trying to debug this.  They read in your changelog "update
build dependencies" -- now they have to start pulling out
debdiff,debcheckout etc. to figure out what the change was.

It is much easier if you just provide details in your changelog.

(btw, it looks like you are responsible for most of the upstream release
-- great work.  This kind of work makes Debian more useful for people
around the world.  Thanks!)
