Hi,

I have a changelog that starts with these lines:

$ head -n 18 debian/changelog 
haskell-zlib (0.5.0.0-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Use Debian Haskell Group as Maintainer.
  * debian/control: Update Vcs-Darcs to Debian Haskell Group darcs
    repository.
  * debian/control: Update Uploader e-mail.
  * debian/control: Use one package for line in dependencies.
  * debian/control: Use haskell:Recommends and haskell:Suggests.
  * debian/rules: Make build depend only in build-arch to avoid building
    indep packages in all architectures.

haskell-zlib (0.5.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
[..]

I’m not Marco. When I run "dch" without any options (and --multimaint enabled
by default), I get an editor which offers me:

haskell-zlib (0.5.0.0-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

haskell-zlib (0.5.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

as expected. But running
$ dch -m 'Provide and Replace the previous -doc package name'
instead generates:

$ head -n 18 debian/changelog 
haskell-zlib (0.5.0.0-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

where I would expect debchange to also add a name header.
