Ah! Thank you! "binNMU" is the magic word.
Found the following in google:
https://wiki.debian.org/binNMU
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/sbuild.1.html
So I would have to install/learn "sbuild".

I was wrong, it turns out that binNMUs _do_ (usually) add a changelog entry, but it's a sort of ephemeral entry (e.g. the changelog entry for 2.12-1+b2 won't show in the changelog for 2.12-2 because it doesn't go into the source package)
