Ouch. - And librdf-vcard-perl is already an exmaple.

And the package also doesn't build to well (with git-buildpackage) if
there is no changelog entry for the new version at all.

I've played a bit with git-dch --snapshot which works around this
issue. But I guess we don't want to have it's idea of a changelog
pushed. (And it's a specific tool again.)

I guess we want to have at least a short entry with the new version
and "New upstream release." and PET commands in the pushed repo ...
