I don't think this is a widely-needed feature and also I think this
request is a bit anachronistic nowadays.

Most packages which are maintained using a VCS (version control system)
are nowadays maintainer using Subversion or another of the VCS supported
on alioth or similar hosting services. Using those systems usually the
working copy has a copy of debian/changelog; I've never seen in such
setting the lack of debian/changelog and hence the need of checking it
out in some VCS-specific way.

Could you please argument why you need such a feature?
Otherwise I'm probably closing this bug in a bit.

Cheers.
