Package: devscripts
Version: 2.18.2
Severity: wishlist

Hello devscripts maintainers!

I tend to add debian/changelog entries like:

  * debian/control
    - bump Standards-Version to 4.1.4 (no changes needed)

(for every file/group of files the change is about) and then add every
additional change under that initial entry.

when i `debcommit -a` it presents this commit msg:

```
debian/control

* debian/control
  - bump Standards-Version to 4.1.4 (no changes needed)
```

can you teach debcommit to just take the text 'bump Standards-Version to 4.1.4
(no changes needed)', as it would do for every other additional entry after the
first?

thanks!
