How the patch it botched? 

	1- Patch doesn't apply cleanly.
	2- Semantically incorrect.
	3- Completely erroneous.
	4- Code is not formatted correctly.
	...

I admit the following errors in the changelog:

	a- Missing ":" after the file name and before the descriptive text.
	b- Insuffient detail.

Do you use the term 'canonical' to mean 'simplified' or rather
'conforming to a general rule'?

Excellent.

Thanks for you time Roland.

Cheers,
Carlos.
