Public bug reported:

I noticed this when using the --no-lp option to deal with a number of
fakesync's from Debian for new packages which landed in Ubuntu first (so
have a -0ubuntuX version number).

When the changelog is generated its generated since
'cur_ver.full_version' - which relates to the Debian version associated
with the current Ubuntu version.  In the case below

ubuntu_ver.full_version = 1.1-0ubuntu1
cur_ver.full_version = 1.1-0

As a result the changelog generated contains the full change history.
This is OK if the Ubuntu changelog entries have been discarded during
adoption in Debian (as we want the full changelog) but if they are
intact then they are included.

See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/precise-
changes/2011-October/000411.html for example.
