> I think bzr-builddeb (or python-debian) needs to be switched to using
the dpkg-mergechangelog implementation

The linked branch, lp:~spiv/bzr-builddeb/use-dpkg-mergechangelogs, does
this: it deletes most of merge_changelog.py and just shells out to dpkg-
mergechangelogs.  However, 3 out of the 8 tests in
tests/test_merge_changelog.py fail.  I'm attaching the test log.  I'd
appreciate an Ubuntu dev's opinion regarding whether the divergent
behaviour is an improvement or not: it appears that in some cases dpkg-
mergechangelogs gives differently ordered output, or claims success
where before a conflict would occur.

You can also just try out my branch and see if it works better for you!
