Rather than modifying the previous changelog entry, there should be an
additional entry at the top containing just the changes required for
the backport.
In the trivial case, this will be something like:
evilwm (1.1.0-1~bpo60+1) squeeze-backports-sloppy; urgency=low
* Rebuild for squeeze-backports-sloppy.

where the 1.0.0-1 should be the last version in stable/relevant
backports. This puts the
change from the changelog into the .changes file.
Hope that helps in your understanding.
