I think sbuild do this for us by relying on the Binary-Only-Changes field from the buildinfo. > > --binNMU-changelog=changelog > Set the complete content of a binary-only changelog entry.

See sbuild.conf(5) for more information. But it implies a multi-line command line (e.g. the "SBUILD_CMDLINE=<...>" part will contain newlines). For the manual part, adding the following instructions: echo <unwrapped-shell-quoted-Binary-Only-Changes> | \ cat - debian/changelog >> debian/changelog.binNMU && \ mv debian/changelog.binNMU debian/changelog Would "probably" work. Neither of these approaches seem to need #961861. Thanks, ~Niels
