Great, then you simply can install the devscripts package (might be
installed already) which provides the useful dch program which you
typically invoke (while sitting in the top source directory
that contains the debian/ directory) using :
$ dch
This will open debian/changelog in emacs with an updated `date -R`
line.
$ man dch
for all the *many* options available to you.
Also note that you may want to install the dpkg-dev-el package, which
provides the debian-changelog mode to properly highlight the syntax of
the changelog file.
Happy hacking,
Best regards,
Filippo
