There was no version change. The version is currently simply displayed
incorrectly when using the virtualjaguar package from Jessie instead
of using the one from unstable. This is just a two-liner that fixes
the problem, that's all.

Hmm, I don't understand that some people treat the changelog as if
it is a file with a special, immutable status. I have seen Debian
changelogs that contained lots of worthless or confusing entries, so I
went ahead and fixed it. I prefer having a correct changelog over an
inconsistent or incorrect one as I consider the changelog to be a
useful part of the packaging source. After all, the changelog is
supposed to help others to understand what has been changed without
having diff through the sources themselves.
Anyway, thanks!
