Why didn't you keep debian-devel as Cc ?

Oh, and where in the upstream changelog can we find the references to
the closed Debian bugs?

Is it really too much for you to add that in the changelog:
 * New upstream release (closes: #313200)
   + Now treats all mouse buttons equally (closes: #258934).
   + IncludeOnly patch is integrated (closes: #327464).
   + Binaries moved to /usr/sbin (closes: #261979).
   + gdmflexiserver provides an option to start a new X server anyway   
     (closes: #309224).
   + ...

When you need 5 months to package a new version, I'd guess you could
take 5 minutes to write a decent changelog entry. If you don't even have
that time, may I recall that you have received numerous help proposals
for this package during the last two years and that you ignored all of
them?
