If you where fast (i.e. for another time): Use dcut to remove from 
incoming queue within the first couple of minutes, before it gets 
adopted into unstable.

Else (i.e. in this case too): Do another release with your fixes, 
including correcting the earlier changelog entry.

It is forbidden by Debian Policy to change historical entries in the 
Changelog file, but I would not consider it violation of Policy to fix 
flaws of documenting what truly did happen.

If uncertain if some release is sane, then ask _before_ releasing! :-)
