Thanks.

I was thinking about adding DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT=no too to
~/.devscripts, because or policy says "If someone else changed
something that has to be noted in debian/changelog, he just adds a
line to the current entry (dch -a). He should not put his name there
- the user does not care and we can always check the svn log." -
