That is how dch formatted the changelog when I generated
the debdiff. Let me know if I need to fix the debdiff filename and
changelog with a new debdiff that corrects those, and I will
upload it to 995...@bugs.debian.org.
You could indeed send a follow-up with a debdiff that fixes these issues
as that saves the stable release managers a round trip to you and less
brain power. You'd need to fix it locally anyways to actually do the upload.
Two notes:
1) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/08/msg00000.html
(under "Workflow").

I will prepare the updated debdiff.
I understand I am asking for an exception to the Release
Team's first "usual" criteria for acceptance:
* The bug you want to fix in stable must be fixed in unstable
already (and not waiting in NEW or the delayed queue)
I don't know if they will be willing to make an exception. Probably
not before 11.1 comes out as I am sure they are busy dealing with
the upcoming point release. I do hope they will read my whole
report before deciding. What happened here is very unusual
for Debian, and IMHO Debian would not be renowned for
stability if it happened more often.
