If it's for integrity: point releases are signed with an offline key in addition to the normal archive key. So you can check Release based on Release.gpg and there's then a defined trust path. The mail to debian-announce[1] might not list the versions but it does list the changes introduced. And you should be able to find the concrete changelogs a) in the package through apt-listchanges and b) on packages.qa.d.o. I'm happy to adjust the process, however it's difficult to get all people involved present and awake for the whole timespan of a point release. (I.e. we started at about 19 UTC and finshed at 23:30 UTC. The mirror push was supposed to happened after the next dinstall at 01:52 UTC. Due to a glitch the actual sync only happened after the ftp-master was awake again at 9:30 UTC. And the press release came in even later, too. So not everything worked as expected on this one.)
