 Having it in the changes file is absolutely irrelevant for version
tracking, the BTS doesn't work with changes files but with changelogs.
For that I would rather expect that the next backports upload might need
the former backports upload's changelog entries - but I'm not so sure if
that would be really practical or work out.

 Have fun!
