Well, that's helpful information, indeed. I will do the same :-).

Bug#903598: devscripts: dch -r [something]
Package: devscripts Version: 2.17.6+deb9u1 Severity: minor Consider dch -r `foo' dch ignores `foo', which is `TEXT', in the sense that `foo' does not appear in the resulting changelog entry. *But* if you don't supply `foo' dch runs an editor. And there's no other way to stop it doing so because --no-edit is (unaccountably) not supported. This is all rather odd. (I need noninteractive dch in the dgit test suite, so please don't just change it without disucssion...)
