Yes, it changed fairly recently.

I suggest you add the bts ref to the lintian comment to make this clear.
I have fairly high trust in this test in lintian, but have not
investigated your particular case, so see no basis to object to your
findings.  I am glad you have researched it. :)

Yes, but you should not throw away the old changelog entries.

OK, so lets start with libArcus, then.  Should we coordinate on IRC? I
joined #debian-3dprinting to help out.  If you got the time, I suspect
we can get it uploaded into NEW today.
