I think you're describing behaviour different from this report.

‘dpkg-buildpackage’ expects the changelog entry to be finalised.
That's right and proper, and should not be changed for this bug
report.

‘debchange --release’ should handle an unfinalised changelog entry,
because the whole point of that action is to *alter* the changelog
entry to finalise it for release.
