Bug#542137: perl-doc: No description of changes for version 5.10.0-25 in changelog.Debian.gz

Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.10.0-25
Severity: normal

Wasn't sure if I should mark the severity here as "serious" -- the
policy manual doesn't say "must" or "required" when describing whether
the changelog should be updated with each new version...

I just picked up the update from perl-doc 5.10.0-24 to -25, and wanted
to read the /usr/share/doc/perl-doc/changelog.Debian.gz notes.  Here's
what I see:

    $ zcat /usr/share/doc/perl-doc/changelog.Debian.gz | head

    perl (5.10.0-24) unstable; urgency=low

      * Change the perl-debug package section and priority to debug/extra.
      * POD fix for Module::Build::Cookbook.
      * Fix a memory leak with the map operator. (Closes: #528332)
      * Add gcc predefined macros to $Config{cppsymbols} on GNU/kFreeBSD.
	(Closes: #533098) 
      * Fix CPAN and CPANPLUS configuration to consistently use the
	site directories with both Build.PL and Makefile.PL. (Closes: #533707)
      * Save local versions of CPANPLUS::Config::System into /etc/perl.

Where's the notes for 5.10.0-25?
