Bug#1071063: screenkey: malformed debian/changelog

[Chris Lamb]

Package: screenkey
Version: 1:1.5-4
Severity: serious
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi,

This might not *strictly* be an RC bug, but the latest upload of
screenkey has the following entry in debian/changelog:

<<<
    screenkey (1:1.5-4) unstable; urgency=medium

      * fixed d/watch
      * bumped Standards-Version: 4.7.0
      * removed the stance X-Python-Version

     --
>>>

Note in particular the missing date. This doesn't break dak, otherwise
it would not have been accepted by the archive, but it breaks many
other tools (eg. gbp-buildpackage, etc.) as well as other things. For
example, the package is not reproducible because SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
cannot be extracted from the debian/changelog.

When building the package you should have seen warnings by, for
instance, dh_installchangelogs, dpkg-gencontrol, dpkg-genchanges,
etc. :)

Regards,
