Yes, sorry about that.  The updates were there in the repository
without the changelog modified, and I didn't look to the changes
beyond the last debian revision (which hadn't pick up previous
changes, for some reason).

In the debdiff before the upload I checked that there were no other
disruptive changes (for the same reasons that you mention), but didn't
check that they matched changelogs.

Do you want me to create a -4 version adding the information to the
changelog, or reverting some?


Cheers.
