It indeed happens automatically.

What you did wrong is probably *how* that binNMU was scheduled.  sbuild
(and pbuilder too nowadays) have their options to do it, and they do it
right, so I really wonder what you did, because yes, dpkg (=> the "build
system" of yours above :)) splits automatically the binNMU changelog.

You are missing the 'binary-only=yes' "option" on it; the first line
should have been:

    ffpmeg (7:3.1.3-1+b3) unstable; urgency=low, binary-only=yes

(or another urgency; the urgency field for binNMUs is pretty
indifferent).

good question :)
