Yup, that's what I though.

That means that Debian packagers (e.g. Loic Minier?) have manually edited
the changelog in debian/ at the time of the packaging, but these changes
have not been uploaded back to git (which - afaik - is the only version
system used by rhythmbox, anymore). Is it right? How did they proceeded to
compile it?

I've just seen that even if rhythmbox-0.12.4.deb has not been uploaded in
debian repositories [1]-[2] yet, its sources have already been uploaded [3],
so that theoretically I could now use dh_make and the
"rhythmbox_0.12.4.orig.tar.gz", or original tarball, to obtain the package.
Isn't it?

Thank you for your help.
