Bug#597154: wrong warning latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version



>> I have a few packages which are uploaded in experimental and unstable.
>> I sopport one build-system for this package which is used in both
>> cases. So I usually do uploads:
>> unstable-experimental-experimental-unstable... etc. Build-system is
>> kept in git (branches), all packages have one changelog.

RA> Aie.  Please don't do that.  That implies that all the changes in
RA> 3.6.9+debian-1 are in 3.5.12+debian-1, but they aren't (in particular, all
RA> the upstream changes aren't).  This will potentially confuse all sorts of
RA> things in Debian, not to mention any user trying to read the changelog.

RA> The two branches of the package should have separate changelogs.

this is the *Debian* changelog, so I think it *must* contain all debian
uploads.

For example: 
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/iceweasel/current/changelog

Now Debian contains iceweasel 3.5.12 (were 3.5.9, 3.5.10, 3.5.11). When 3.6.*
replaces 3.5.* debian changelog won't contain any records about a few uploads
which *were done*. Many bugs were closed by them, but result changelog
won't contain these records/bugreport nubmers. For example:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/iceweasel/news/20100908T084904Z.html
