Oh, this is very interesting, thanks! I had taken a look at that
module, but from the documentation I understood it only gives us "the
number of changelog entries that have been parsed with success", so
I had discarded this option.

I'm very glad I was mislead. It looks like Dpkg::Changelog{,::*} are
sufficient for many, if not most, use cases of Parse::DebianChangelog :)
We might have to check what API is public and supported, and improve
the documentation accordingly: for example, the "load" method that
our new-upstream script uses does not seem to be documented anywhere.

Cheers,
