Well, actually, all those lines probably should be removed: debian/changelog is intended
to record changes to the packaging part only, it is not to record
changes made upstream; more generally: Only stuff that changes files
in the debian directory should be mentioned in d/changelog.
(See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#debian-changelog-debian-changelog
for some better/more accurate wording in the Policy)
To link patches to upstream issues, dep3 headers are used in the patches:
https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/
Quilt can help your here for filling it out:
quilt header -e --dep3

But thanks for updating the package so far!
