Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bzr-builddeb

When using bzr merge-upstream to pull a new revision, debian/changelog
should automatically be updated with the recommended version number and
"New Upstream snapshot" when pulling from trunk, or "New Upstream
version" when pulling from an appropriate tag.  In the simple case where
there are no conflicts, this allows the user to simply use debcommit to
push the updated state of the package to the bzr repository for the
package.  In the more complex case, the user may need to adjust a couple
things before being able to use debcommit, but can use dch normally to
further update the changelog in preparation for debcommit.  For extra
portability between distributions and compatibility with standard
practice when using VCS management of packaging, the special target
"UNRELEASED" should be used in the changelog when it is updated (e.g.
dch -v 1.2.3+bzr7477-1 -D UNRELEASED "New upstream snapshot").
