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

As I got no better suggestion, I'm closing this bug.
