 (Sorry about that!)

 What would you think of using "git-dch" to extract git logs and
 generate a changelog?

 Basically the workflow is:
   - change source files and git commit with a message
   - run "git-dch" which will extract all commit messages since the
     previous tagged release and write them in the changelog
   - commit the changelog update
   - tag the release

 I find it convenient because you type the commit message exactly once
 and it causes much less conflicts (otherwise two people changing
 pbuilder in git have a guaranteed conflict in the changelog).
