I suppose that this package was sent to proposed first with the 
appropriate changelog entry and later it was moved to updates without an 
additional changelog entry. Then I wouldn't say that the changelog is 
misleading. But maybe someone else can tell you what should be in the 
changelog. Anyway, I wouldn't use the changelog to determine the 
repository providing a package.
