I don't actually feel that strongly about it.  Debcommit's approach of
filtering the changelog by author probably helps avoid the conflicts,
since each author's items end up in a different place in the file.

I'm happy to go with the debcommit workflow (that is, updating
debian/changelog with each commit) as long as we're willing to
reevaluate it later if anyone presents any serious problems with it.
