The message isn't being produced by dch directly, it's coming from:
my $parser = new Parse::DebControl;
my $deb822 = $parser->parse_file('debian/control', {stripComments =>
'true'});
It's also generated using "warn" rather than an exception, so I'm not
sure how easy trapping it inside dch would be.

If you believe the parsing is incorrect, then please clone or reassign
this bug to libparse-debcontrol-perl; dch isn't doing the parsing
itself.
