This changelog is missing some key information:
- how did you find the bug - did you see some actual badness?
- what practical effect (if any) did you see from this patch?
- what practical effect (if any) do you expect others to see from this patch?
This kind of information helps us prioritize bugfixes and helps us determine whether a fix requires a -stable backport.
Thanks,
Ingo
