For any future updates, please include a full debdiff, rather than just
the isolated patch.  It might seem slightly picky, but often the debdiff
ends up being more involved than just changelog + patch.

I assume s/DSA/security/ :-) (yay for overloaded acronyms).

A slightly unconventional approach. :-)

Unfortunately, only the .changes files in DELAYED (well, DEFERRED/ once
it actually reaches the file system on ftp-master) are world-readable,
so I can't run a debdiff.  However, if the result would be just the
patch you included in your mail and the changelog stanza as included in
the .changes, then please feel free to reschedule it to DELAYED/0;
thanks.

Adam
