Jan, thanks for the updates. This is much better. A couple of things to note:
1. in Ubuntu to reference a bug you should use 'LP: #......' instead of 'closes #......'
2. it is always best to give the URL to the commit that contains the patch. You presumably know where it is but without the URL the sponsor must hunt for it. If using DEP-3 in the patch, use the 'Upstream: <url>' tag, otherwise add the URL to the changelog
3. The changelog text is too wide (it should by 80 characters max) and the format of the changelog does not conform to the procedures detailed in SecurityTeam/UpdateProcedures

I verified these patches with Debian, so I'll fix the above up and upload.
