Bug#1077031: dh-make-perl: Create template for debian/changelog with urgency=medium

[Joenio Marques da Costa]

Hello again,

I've made the changes and fixed the tests, Merge Request was opened
on Salsa:
- 
https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/dh-make-perl/-/merge_requests/5

There is Lintian test failing with the message below but I'm not sure
it's related to changes introduced by the MR above.

Lintian test failing:
- newer-standards-version 4.7.0 (current is 4.6.2)

Best,
