Hmmm, I thought we already did that; obviously I misremembered (probably confused it with the automagic adding of NEWS entries using the changelog version). I have a small(ish) patch which works in my testing so far; I'll commit it after a little more testing. With the patch, updating the NEWS file pulls in the urgency from the changelog unless you override it on the command line. Obviously if you update the urgency in the changelog after editing the NEWS file then they'll still end up out of sync, but I think that's acceptable - it's certainly better than the current situation, and dch's code really doesn't lend itself to attempting to update the NEWS file correctly when changing the changelog.
