Problem with debuild and changelog



Hello,

sorry for OT, but i'm sure someone on the list could help me.

I have a package which is almost "debian ready", the debian dir exist
and necessary files in there.

But there is no changelog, only a changelog.in as a template.

A run of debuild fails, cause there is no changelog. OK

I run autogen.sh which builds a changelog from the above template. Or i
create a new with dch --create foo bar

If i build only the binarys with:
debuild binary
it's all ok.

Not ok is if i wish to build also the source packages.
If i run debuild without parameters (or dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
-rfakeroot) then the generated changelog is deleted by a process of
dh_clean and debuild bleats about missing changelog (which is deleted by
himself)

I've googled a lot but never found a solution. Neither in devscripts doc
or new maintainer guide.

I could remove the dh_clean section in rules, but this could'nt be the
solution. Anybody there who point me to (my) mistake?

Greetings
	Gerhard
