Something has changed: the fact that the bug is not present has been
documented (in the changelog itself).
I don't insist on this interpretation, but it doesn't seem
unreasonable. After all, we do require a changelog entry, even if the
*source* hasn't changed. If changelog entries only covered source
changes, I might agree, but then we'd have to record the current
version number elsewhere. (And then that "elsewhere" might be an
appropriate place for mentioning non-bugs or previously-fixed bugs.)
