Debcommit appears to do the wrong thing in the case of a long commit

* Adopt override_dh_foo style in rules.
This also fixes debuild -j8.
$ debcommit
darcs record '--repodir=debian' -m 'Adopt override_dh_foo style in rules.
This also fixes debuild -j8.' -a
darcs: Patch names cannot contain newlines.
debcommit: commit failed
In this case, I was testing whether it would correctly set the patch
name (-m) to the first line, and the patch long description to the
second line. However the commit message could equally be a really
long, and hard-wrapped, in debian/changelog -- I see no way for
debcommit to tell the difference.
To supply a long description to Darcs programmatically, you must use
either --pipe, or write the long description to a temporary file and
use --logfile=FILE. Using --pipe requires you to supply the author
and commit time, too (instead of having Darcs work them out); --pipe
is the ONLY way to manually supply a date.
I don't know if it's Darcs patch's author and date should match the
ones that are in debian/changelog, but it sounds like a good idea to
me...
