You're the FTP site maintainer, and you have to live with
I am withdrawing the request that package upload announcements be
machine-readable. They may now be free-form. I'm sick of this stupid
argument.

How about changing it so it looks like:

H. One set of typos I made in my recent response to Ian's
requests/suggestions started me thinkin about the format of the
changes file "File" field. Currently, it looks like:
# File:

File: e2-2.0.beta-2.diff.g
I'm taking these as statements of incremental changes desired to the
current dchanges-produced format.
