Dear Maintainer,
The dpkg-parsechangelog manual page says:
--file file
Set the changelog filename to parse. Default is ‘-’ (standard
input).
That is, however, not the case. It actually reads the debian/changelog
file, even when stdin is a pipe:
$ git show esr45/master:debian/changelog | dpkg-parsechangelog --file - -S
Version
45.6.0esr-1
$ git show esr45/master:debian/changelog | dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version
50.1.0-1
$ dpkg-parsechangelog --file debian/changelog -S Version
50.1.0-1
$ dpkg-parsechangelog -S Version
50.1.0-1

This got fixed in dpkg 1.18.16, with:
,---
dpkg (1.18.16) unstable; urgency=medium
[…]
* Documentation:
[…]
- Update dpkg-parsechangelog parser options. The options specific to
the changelog parser program did not get updated when the parser got
switched to be a perl module. Missed in dpkg 1.18.8.

`---
but it seems I misse to add a bug closure. Retroactively added that
to the changelog and closing this report now.

Guillem
