Build-report/changelog-diff inheritance is implemented only in one
direction: "testing" repo inherits from "stable" repo. For the new repo
layout as used by Fedora and adapted by RPM Fusion, "stable" (= "updates")
would need to learn about the "releases" repos, too. And these are not
maintained by the pushscripts.


Without updating the pushscripts, it could only be worked around when
filling the "releases" repo the first time: move all initial release
packages into the "updates" repo, run the "WhatsNew.py" script on
it, then move all release packages into the "releases" repo.
Too late for that now, though ;-)  and not worth the extra step IMO.


So, ugly side-effect due to using "releases" repos.
