please note the related bug report:

This does have one issue though - debian/changelog is changed automatically,
but it is a file under revision control.  Having such a modified file in the
tree can be an annoyance.


Agreed, this is annoying.


In PISA, Samuel modifies the changelog in the build environment of the deflated 
dist-tarball created by the packaging framework (dpkg). This way, changes don't 
make it into the local working dir.

This does not work for automated, nightly builds. It is also not alignedwith Fedora builds.

Adding debian/changelog to .bzrignore does not help.  What we could do
as an alternative is to drop that file from revision control altogether
and rely on it being generated automatically always.


Works for me. If you're thinking about generating "bzr log" as the changelog, 
please note that this does not work with the binary maintainer scripts (there you'll just 
have the doc/ChangeLog).


You're thinking about providing a debian/changelog.in that is updated to the 
actual debian/changelog by configure?


bzr changelog could be the changelog contents.
