Yes, please.  Each bug that we close in the changelog must have an
associated explanation.

If the bug subjects are coherent (they should be if I've had a change to
correct them from the "it dont work" idiocy so many bugs start as), then
it's okay to just copy the bit after "xserver-xfree86: [savage]", like
this:

  * patch #063: new Savage driver (version 1.1.27t); resolves the
    following problems:
    - driver zigs when it should zag (Closes: #112703)
    - XVideo windows are blue, and so am I (Closes: #115223)

...and so forth.

Hmm, no.  It's possible I merged some bugs in error.

Thanks for looking into this!
