| Please also add that as a reason to the "Updated debhelper to 9 due to | moving rules to dh(1) format." line in the changelog, so people don't | have to guess.
Howabout this:
nedit (1:5.6~cvs20081118-7.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Removed deprecated dpatch and upgrade to packaging format "3.0 quilt"
(Closes: #664439).
* Standards-Version bumped to 3.9.4 (no changes needed).
* Updated debhelper to 9 due to moving rules to dh(1) format. The dh(1)
format makes it possible to utilize hardened build flags easily in the
build process.
* Added ${misc:Depends} to control files (Lintian).
* Removed 80_Update_version_description.patch and moved version update
to rules file. The version string cannot be set from a patch because it
is modified during the build dynamically from the current date.
* Added 90_build_no_ask.patch to not ask questions at build time.
The automated build scripts at Debian hosts would not have anyone
to interact with.
* Use hardened build flags in rules file; for this the sources also
needed a new 92_format_string.patch.
