Indeed:

% grep -r "urgency=low" t/ 
t/dists.t:    unshift @changelog, "libstrange-perl (3.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low\n";
t/dists/Strange-0.1/wanted-debian--refresh/changelog:libstrange-perl (0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-0.1/wanted-debian--refresh-email/changelog:libstrange-perl (3.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-0.1/wanted-debian--refresh-email/changelog:libstrange-perl (0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-0.1/wanted-debian--refresh--source-format=3.0_quilt/changelog:libstrange-perl (0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-0.1/wanted-debian/changelog:libstrange-perl (0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-2.1/wanted-debian--refresh/changelog:libstrange-perl (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-2.1/wanted-debian--refresh-email/changelog:libstrange-perl (3.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-2.1/wanted-debian--refresh-email/changelog:libstrange-perl (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-2.1/wanted-debian--refresh--source-format=3.0_quilt/changelog:libstrange-perl (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
t/dists/Strange-2.1/wanted-debian/changelog:libstrange-perl (2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low


So yeah, please go ahead :)
