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.
