There is an exception though.. the .changes file that will be generated
will use debian/changelog. You _have_ to have a debian/changelog or
dpkg-buildpackage will fail, I think, when it tries to make the .changes
file.
And the .changes file is used to automatically close bugs mentioned in
it, so any ("Closes: #xxx") statements you put in your other changelogs
will not be seen by that process, and will not be autoclosed.
