I check some of the fixes.  Bellow is a text that you might use.  It may 
not be complete, though.

  * Imported Upstream version 3.8.0~rc1, which fixes the following bugs:
    - Function pkg.m work correctly when promoting warnings to errors
      (Closes: #693873)
    - Sparse matrices A(n,n) behave correctly when n is a multiple of
      65536=2^16 (Closes: #706376)
    - Function interpft does not fail when downsampling (Closes: #706640)
    - Function print correctly handle option -d<device> when no file
      name is given (Closes: #710423)
    - Documentation for function triangle_lw (and others) is removed
      from the manual (Closes: #721802)
    - Subfunctions are deleted from the table of symbols when deleting
      the parent function (Closes: #725442)
