I have uploaded a new copy of ddcutil, with a modified
debian/changelog. It closes bug 858510, the original ITP bug, not the
blocker 861617. I hope this was the correct choice.

Yes, and as I've said, and lintian have told you, you should have done it
at the very beginning.
There are 2 changelog related messages from lintian:
P: ddcutil: no-upstream-changelog
As I wrote, that file (/usr/share/doc/ddcutil/ChangeLog) will be added in
the next upstream point release.
We were talking about the Debian changelog, why did you suddenly switch to
the upstream one?
W: ddcutil: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
Your comment on this message was to ignore the warning for now:
You don't write a separate changelog entry for a mentors "upload".
I didn't mean that, I meant you should write the correct changelog entry
from the very beginning and don't write a stub for a mentors "upload"
(because there is no such thing as a mentors upload wrt debian/changelog).
Can you give some guidance as to what should be in the initial changelog
entry? Thanks.
* Initial release. (Closes: #NNNNNN)
I'm going to interpret the "it" that I should have done as being the
upstream changelog.
