Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/dpkg-genchanges
Hi!
man dpkg-genchanges says the following about the -v option:
-vversion
Causes changelog information from all versions strictly later
than version to be used.
Unfortunately that is not true. dpkg-genchanges looks for the exact
version string and if not found includes *all* changelog entries into
the changes files. This is highly inconvenient for backports where it is
often that the newer uploads don't carry along the older changelog entry
but people would want to have all changes since the last upload
included.
It would be really swift if dpkg-genchanges could work like advertised. :)

No answer, so closing for now. You told me it might be a bad pbuilder
interaction on IRC. Feel free to reopen and reassign if necessary.
Cheers,
