Package: git-buildpackage Followup-For: Bug #959665 Hi,
It does seem that having a full stop at the end of debian/changelogs is conventional. However, this is already easy to configure locally. I had this in my debian/gbp.conf for a long time: [import-orig] import-msg = New upstream release %(version)s. I've since removed the dot again, since for *git* commit messages, it is conventional to *not* have a full stop at the end of the first line and I kept forgetting to add it for my Debian packages, so now my changelogs also omit the full stop. Also, it seems that Debian policy does not mention the full stop at all: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#debian-changelog-debian-changelog Anyway, this is already easy to configure, so I wonder if this would be worth changing?
