Raphael,

Fair call and my fault for those changelog entries.

I think perhaps I have been relying too much on the --closes functionality
of dch and need to put more consideration into the fix, rather than the
symptom.

Ideally something like:

$ dch --closes 397147 'Added Build-Depends: libvorbis-dev'

Would generate a change log entry like:

   * Added Build-Depends: libvorbis-dev
      - Fixes: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/format_ogg_vorbis.so gone
      missing when rebuilt (Closes: #397147)

This would also be useful for debcommit as well.

One can manually do the above so there isn't an excuse.

As you say, more care is needed in the changelog entries.

Thanks for the feedback.

Mark
