Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.18
Severity: important

Background: Some frontends in the GCC packages are built from separate
source (although the packaging is the same for these "source"
packages).  The new changelog in such a package is usually generated
by copying the gcc-X.Y changelog and adding an "Upload as ..." entry
in front.

This doesn't work anymore:

gpc-4.1 (2.1-4.1.2-22) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload as gpc-4.1.

gpc-4.1 (2.1-4.1.2-22~dummy) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upload as gpc-4.1.

 -- Matthias Klose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>  Sun, 27 Apr 2008 13:44:14 +0200

gcc-4.1 (4.1.2-22) unstable; urgency=low

[...]

If you don't have this dummy entry, then dpkg-genchanges complains:

$ dpkg-genchanges > ../gpc-4.1_2.1-4.1.2-22_i386.changes
dpkg-genchanges: warning: the current version (2.1-4.1.2-22) is smaller than 
the previous one (4.1.2-22)
dpkg-genchanges: including full source code in upload

and the upload to ftp-master is rejected. including the full source
in this case sounds like a bug.
