I probably agree with this advice, although note that dpkg-genchanges
has a '-v' option that can be used to include changelog entries from
more than just the most recent release. The bugs in the BTS are
actually closed by a field in the generated '.changes' file, rather
than a script parsing the changelog itself.
In the past, I believe some sponsors have asked that every revision of
the package uploaded by a mentee has a separate changelog entry,
although personally I don't agree with that approach - for me, it's
better that the changelog clearly documents what was uploaded to
Debian itself.
