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,
