Same here, I stole that bit from debstd. ;-)
However, on second thought, using dpkg-parsechangelog is unappetising. Not
only does it print out this annoying error message, but it takes a about a
second to run. (on a p166)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian/build/debhelper-0.35>time dpkg-parsechangelog
>/dev/null

Since debian/rules files that use debhelper typically cal about 20 d_*
programs in a package build, that's about half a minute added to the build,
along with an appalling amount of ugly messages. I don't know... it's the
right thing to do, but it's so ugly...
