Wouldn't the ideal solution be non-architecture-specific changelogs? So, a normal binnmu changelog looks like this now: package (version) sid; urgency=low * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for amd64; no source changes. -- amd64 Builddd Daemon (barber) <buildd_amd64-bar...@buildd.debian.org> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:33:05 +0000 which could be changed to something like this instead: package (version) sid; urgency=low * Binary-only non-maintainer upload; no source changes. -- Debian Release Team <debian-rele...@lists.debian.org> Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:33:05 +0000 or some other appropriate binnmu mailing address. This would also mean rebuilding all of the other architectures for multi-arch same packages so that they all get the same changelog.
