Well, it seems that nobody really reacted to my post.Nevertheless, I have
the first version of the script implemnting the described behaviour
attached. It would be nice, if someone expresses his opinion about it, and
I would really appreciate it being used in the deploying of udebs (and
maybe other packages too).

The general usage is at the moment relatively simple: the script outputs,
which .po-files has been updated and this output could be fed to dch. For
example, I updated the current changelog of anna (of course, no commit has
been done) from debian-installer/anna directory with a single command:

../compare_changelogs . | while read line; do dch -a "$line"; done

(compare_changelogs's location can vary, of course).

The script is not perfect, but have fun with it anyway :)
