Would moving "$message=getmessage() if ! defined $message;" before the "if ($release)" check not be easier than introducing a new option? That would make the message used by debcommit -r: - the message passed with -m, if any or - the changes in the changelog, if any or - "releasing version X" Joey, or anyone else for that matter - any thoughts / objections?
