Ok i have added your suggestion to the changelog. I had to learn who the changelog has to look like, by trying and getting responses, how to do better. I can't find the complete useful information in the wiki at ubuntu.com.

What i have learned no is:
* Changelog entry lines are limited to 80 characters
* I a bug is closed, refer to it with: (LP: #xxxxx). at the end of the line
* Mention the files which are changed (This is one thing hard to find out, because i can't find it in the wiki and i haven't seen it in most of the changelog files i read).
* Mention the right release

I used https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes/Debdiff to start with trying to help with bugs, perhaps i is a good idea to add an recipe for updating the changelog and refer from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes/Debdiff to this recipe?

If the points i have mention above are right (Mathias?), i am willing to write a recipe page in the wiki. If i am missing some points, please let me know.
