Package: devscripts

Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debchange
I thought I fixed in git repo for
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842468
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845610
by updating uupdate to run debchange with empty string:
- debchange $BADVERSION -v "$NEW_VERSION-$SUFFIX" "New upstream release"
+ if [ -z "$BADVERSION" ]; then
+ debchange -v "$NEW_VERSION-$SUFFIX" "New upstream release"
+ else
+ debchange $BADVERSION -v "$NEW_VERSION-$SUFFIX" ""
+ fi
If "" is the text to be added to the changelog, debchange skips making line
with "*". This seems to intentional design decision of debchange which I have
no idea why. (Code logic around it is a bit complicated. So I may be wrong)
This kind of changelog chokes other tools parsing it.

To me, it is better to create an empty entry to be modified later by the
maintainer.
If no objection, I will try to update debchange.
Otherwise, I will re-update uupdate to use non-null string such as
debchange $BADVERSION -v "$NEW_VERSION-$SUFFIX" "[Edit this line before
uploading]"
(Second option really doesn't fix bugs 842468 and 845610)
