I cleaned the debian/changelog upstream and what I added is to the best
of my knowledge.  I work on unstable and try to keep the debian/ branch
uptodate as I use it to build qgis.

It would be nice to know, if there's still something wrong.

You also mentioned GRASS regressions before, but never really told us
what they were.

The upstream debian/ tree reflects the little I know about the Debian
policy.  So I'm probably not qualified to do that either.

Where can I read up on that?
