I just want to point people towards the fact that the Janitor's is now being clever about recognizing whether a package is using `gbp dch` (which I believe is the case you refer to when you say that UNRELEASED is not used), or changelog entires are added whenever a change is done. That said, I acknoledge that it makes sense to converge on a single solution for the whole team, and honestly I don't have much of a strong preference towards either one. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
