Back then I had read only `perldoc Dpkg::Changelog::Debian`, which
documents one method:
$c->parse($fh, $description)
Read the filehandle and parse a Debian changelog in it. The data in
the object is reset before parsing new data.
Returns the number of changelog entries that have been parsed with
success.
I understood only later that "See also: Dpkg::Changelog" was not
optional :)
Cheers,
