Oh silly me, always pressing r instead of l in mutt... :-(

I was already aware of this, but want to wait for the ACCEPTED message
before closing the bugs.

Merging the changelogs and thus removing any traces of the mol-dfsg

In an ideal world I would have used the -v switch to dpkg-buildpackage ...
AFAIK this is the best way to handle such a situation.
