Bug#1142766: RFS: vzlogger/0.8.10-1 -- Allows mqtt_topic to be set from the channel config

Control: tags -1 moreinfo

Hi Jochim,

Please upload to packages to mentors as mentors has some useful QA.

- there are undocumented changes in d/changelog.
- some entries in d/changelog should explain the why, not the what.
  For example the change from Marc Haber is not clear to me, why this
 =C2=A0changes, as the package is only produces arch:any packages?
- there are some B-Ds with version constraints that are fullfilled
since a long time (even older than bookworm), drop those version
constraints, if they are fulfilled since oldstable)
- (nitpick) Standard-Version is d/control: It is enough to specify 3
digits.
- (nitpick) d/copyright years (debian portion)

Cheers,
tobi
