Ahhhhh. I was only running "dch" manually as I know I need *a* new changelog
entry referencing the new version.

Please, please do so.

It's not really entirely obvious the best practice for adding a new upstream
version - adding *a* changelog entry is clearly required so I was just doing
what I thought was necessary.

Nailing these rather common workflows in the docs is really beneficial
IMHO. :)

Feel free to retitle this bug to match.
