In the manpage for gbp-dch, there is the following sentence:

"Instead of Gbp-Dch the deprecated Git-Dch is still supported."

The preposition "instead of" sounds strange here, lending to the meaning that the "Git-Dch" is used in place of "Gbp-Dch". The wording could be improved, for instance:

"In addition to Gbp-Dch, the deprecated Git-Dch is still supported."

as per the patch here attached.
