I think that is complaining that the changes file and the changelog entry do 
not match up (but I've not checked).

Yes. I just did
dch -D experimental

sbuild -d experimental -c unstable-amd64-sbuild

and that worked without lintian complaining, and produced a package with a 
changes file that will send it to experimental.
