The debian/changelog file documents the changes _I_ made.  And the change I
made was "new upstream release".  The list of bugs that fixes is listed.
If you want to see details of changes upstream made, the upstream changelog
contains these details.  If you have reason to believe that upstream has not
fixed these bugs, that is what the reopen command is for.  Please stop using
the command for other reasons.

I changed the default configuration to be what Gnome (the default, and
what many people expect to work best using the "Gnome Display
Manager"), is going to use as the value of DPI _anyways_, and what
most users expect to happen.  (see the comments in the bug for more
details) If you're a power user that wants to specify your own dpi
value to X, go ahead.  That's why options to X are specified in a
configuration file.
