Hello.

I feel that this wording is not really correct:

dch_git_commit "Remove Priority field to comply with Debian Policy 4.7.3"

IMHO, this would be a good changelog entry if Policy said that the priority field
*has* to be removed. But Policy does not really say that, it just says that it's ok
to remove it, not that it has to be removed.

Policy 4.7.3 was indeed the first policy version allowing that, but this actually follows
a previous change in dpkg-dev. So I suggest dropping the "comply with policy" wording.
Maybe something like this:

dch_git_commit "Remove Priority field, which is the default now"

Note: While looking at the script I found another related bug, which I will report separately.

Thanks.
