Thanks. I've committed an update to svn that I believe works as requested for both git and hg. I've copied the script to http://alioth.debian.org/~adam-guest/debcommit.pl if anyone would like to test it (which would be appreciated :-) That copy also includes the fixes for #469238 and #470366 which are pending release.
