I fixed this in git and I uploaded to mentors. I have been trying to
find out how to get all the changelog entries int the .changes file. I
managed doing this by specifying a version to -v which is lower than
anything in the changelog.
       -vversion
              Causes changelog information from all  versions  strictly  later
              than version to be used.

For uploading to mentors I used
 debuild -S -v0 -sa

It was not immediately clear how to proceed if you wanted to use a
version older than the changelog. If you use -v0 it will work:
 dpkg-genchanges -S -sa -v0 >../python-geojson_1.0.9-2_source.changes
parsechangelog/debian: warning: 'since' option specifies non-existing version
parsechangelog/debian: warning: use newest entry that is earlier than
the one specified
parsechangelog/debian: warning: none found, starting from the oldest entry
