[Bug 1921547] Re: [SRU] Update libjcat to newer release for focal

Please could you expand on this? Paraphrasing, this reads to me as
equivalent to saying "we need to SRU this". This may be true, but merely
stating this does not help me review whether an SRU is justified. If
there is a specific bug or bugs needing this, please reference them at
least.

Please complete this section.

> An upload of libjcat to focal-proposed has been rejected from the
upload queue for the following reason: "This is objectively not a "no
change rebuild in focal" as claimed in the changelog.".

What I mean is: this is deeply misleading. I understand you're adding a
new entry on top of other entries that do explain the changes, but: 1)
The upload didn't use -v to create a proper changes entry that covers
the previous versions; and 2) even if it did, it's still misleading
because a reader might think that you're not changing anything in Focal,
even though you are. I suggest something like "Backport new version to
Focal" instead, at a minimum.

I usually try to avoid nitpicking/bikeshedding changelog texts, but I
think this crosses the bar into being misleading and/or outright
incorrect.
