Merci beaucoup!

Actually some parts are already in there indirectly via the pointer to
doc/release.md:

    $ private/generate-tag-summary --in-place

But the "gbp dch" seems indeed missing (I also see no script calling
that) except for a hint with "e.g. via `dch -r`", despite the switch
to it happened in early 2019.

Instead there's a lot of outdated stuff about no more existing
lintian.debian.org in there.

I'll try to cross-check what else is no more up-to-date in these two
files as soon as I find time to work on Lintian again. (Hopefully
rather soon.)

What also should go into that checklist is running the

  private/post-release-version-bump

script after the upload. It creates that "WIP (generated at release
time: please do not add entries below.)" line and updates the version
number in debian/changelog.

                Regards, Axel
