The API provided by these modules is not yet stable, it's only supposed to
be used internally by dpkg for now.
+What: custom changelog parsers in /usr/lib/dpkg/parsechangelog
+Status: stable
+Version: 2.0
+Description:
+ Since dpkg 1.14.16, the set of command-line options that custome
+ changelog parsers must support has been expanded (see
+ dpkg-parsechangelog(1)). For compatibility, changelog parsers supporting
+ only the old options are supported in lenny. In lenny+1, that support
+ will be dropped.
+ .
+ For reference, only the -v option was supported in version 1.0 of this
+ API.

substvars do not make sense during generation of .dsc and .changes files.
This also means that it won't be possible anymore to override the Format

+What: support of custom changelog parsers understanding only -v
+Status: obsolete
+When: lenny+1
+Warning: none
+Why:
+ The debian changelog parser has been enhanced. It supports new options
+ that enable more fine-grained retrieval of information. Those new options
+ will be used by scripts (like dpkg-genchanges).
+ .
+ Custom changelog parsers must be updated to support the new API (see
+ dpkg-parsechangelog(1) and README.api).
