Sorry, I probably wasn't clear. With "little fix" I meant the fix from this
bug (dropping the build-dependency on gnupg1). So to be clear the flycheck
source package version 30-2 now builds *unmodified* on Ubuntu/16.04, so
there's no additional change needed. As for the changelog entry, that's
added automatically at package build time by  Launchpad's recipes system
[0], so there's no need to check it in revision control.

Hope that clears up your concerns, if not, lemme know.

Free
