What is the proper way to merge branches?

When upstream branches off a new development version I sometimes do
they same in Debian, uploading upstream's development version to
experimental while keeping stable in sid. Once upstream makes a major
release I make an upload, based on the code in experimental.

Obviously I do not want to lose either experimental or sid changelog
entries.

Sorting cronologically seems to be wrong, since experimental and sid
entries would get mixed up, therefore I go for sorting by debian
version numbers. Is this broken?
