Debian New Maintainers Guide - prefer dch for editing changelog file

In the doc 'Debian New Maintainers Guide' 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#changelog) two 
methods of editing changelog are described (dch and an standard editor). the 
latter sounds easier for a novice as me but I had to learn that it should be 
recommended to use dch instead. Such a recommendation would prevent newbies 
from running into the wrong direction and save them much time.
