In general, it's better not to muck with historical changelog entries,
but it doesn't really matter. [As a side note, it'd be useful to send
these sorts of things to the bug log and tag them pending, so other
people don't come by and spend time NMUing unnecessarily.]

Also, not sure why lvm removed the Provides: libdevmapper... probably
shouldn't have been done, but if cryptmount is the only thing
affected, not much harm done.
