there seems to be a conceptual problem with such an approach.

For binNMUs, the full changelog entry has to be passed to sbuild or pbuilder.
How does one best pass such a multi-line value via command line options? Would
the best way to pass the changelog entry via the .buildinfo file? And if
pbuilder and sbuild then already are parsing the .buildinfo file, would it not
be better for the debrebuild machinery to be implemented by either in the first
place?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
