Yes, we have the changelog entries added for the respin everything

few days later. If this is deemed not important we can stopp merging them.
We will still add our '.N' release number to the release tag and add a
changelog entry saying that we have imported and are rebuilding it with
AOT.
BTW, so far we had to remove the Vendor and Distribution tags from the
upstream spec file too, but that has been removed upstream to make it
easier for the distros to import the packages.
I think adopting a work method that doesn't stomp local changes is very
important, including adding an entry about importing from upstream for the
build.
I still don't like "jpp" being there, however I suppose I can live with it,
provided others on the packaging committee can too, and we create a special
case for it (ICK).
