Please either run git add debian/changelog before commiting, or only use
the diff between the last HEAD and the latest 'added' version of

appropriate changelog entry.

Ah, I see the issue. You'll get the warning message if you haven't added
a version of the changelog that contains changes relative to your last
commit, but not if you've modified the changelog since you added it with
changes in.
If you're happy using (and remembering about :-) -a then I'll close the
bug with this message.
Regards,
Adam
