Well I don't know the good practices, if there are any, for
debian/changelog in git repo.
I don't write it before the the upload.
I just use 'gbp dch --snapshot --auto' to generate temporary one to
build the package but I don't commit them. (for -make it was an
accident, sorry)
At the end I write one and upload the package but i don't commit it
until pkg is accepted in the archive.
