Thanks.  Makes good sense.

For future reference, I suggest to hint in changelog entries not only 
"what" but also (very briefly) "why".

Using current changelog as example (but *not* suggesting you change that 
now):

  * Build-depend on libsrtp-dev only on Linux: needed only for librecon
    which is already Linux-only due to sipxtapi linkage.


Thanks for your work on SIP tool!
