I can confirm that lintian is correct here.

If debian/rules was not changed it might be an effect of
$ man dh_installchangelogs
...
An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option. If none is specified, it
looks for files with names that seem likely to be changelogs. (In compatibility
level 7 and above.)
...
and thus a change of the compatibility level which might cause some
different behaviour. I did not checked this thesis so far but I suspect
the debian/rules file *should* be changed to something way more simple.
Even if not switched to short dh notation I do not see any need for the
build-arch/build-indep split here. I somehow guess that switching to a
dh debian/rules file might be a means to magically let this issue
vanish.
Hope this rather vague hint might be helpful (no time for more detailed
investigation)
Andreas.
