Chill!!!
I didn't mean to upset you in any way - the only reason for suggesting
fresh changelog is that there is no history in Debian. I now
understand your position and will of course honor it, but that is
exactly why I asked!

Ouch ... Not fair. My intentions are sound, I simply wanted to avoid
using a sponsor and fully expected my DD application to complete very
soon.
It so happens that one of my other packages containing a new upstream
release is still stuck waiting for the sponsor to get around to
uploading. There is no way I wanted to repeat that experience.
The real problem is the NM process. You just wait and wait and wait
and wait. I am not alone here, many people just give up and go
elsewhere but I strongly believe in Debian.
