You amend it. To avoid ambigiouness:
Until the first upload is sponsored, you just keep a single changelog entry.
In the case of a new upstream version, you just change the version accordingly.
For example a fictional package foobar, updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1:
foobar (1.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Initial Package (Closes: #…)
would become:
foobar (1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Initial Package (Closes: #…)
Version 1.0.0-1 will NOT be mentioned in d/changelog, as there are no changes
to the Debian package if there was no prior upload.
