  While I believe what you say, it seems
some change files gets preserved, for example,
the change that made me write:

 ofono - 1.17.bzr6912+16.04.20160314.3-1ubports0	(changes 
file)	2021-07-03	Deleted

  failed its purpose under testing, then
I changed the patch, I asked the removal of
the deb, and I never could re-upload it since
there was a change file with different content.
The only way to get to it was bumping the
revision, even when there was not 2 changes.

  Thanks!
