Changelog generation and releasing
----------------------------------
The changelog is generated by the uploader using `gbp dch' from
`git-buildpackage'. To invoke, just run
$ gbp dch
and then edit the changelog as appropriate - wrap lines, remove Signed-Off-By,
and so on. Then finalise the changelog, e.g.
$ dch -D unstable --release ""
commit it
$ git commit debian/changelog -m "Releasing 0.foo"
and tag/sign this commit
$ gbp buildpackage --git-tag-only
then build using (for example)
$ gbp buildpackage -S
and test/upload as normal.
