Seems to me that above should be merged (i.e. second line stripped).

Above does not look like a changelog entry to me.  Please consider 
rephrasing - or drop it completely if it does not relate to any real 
change in the resulting packaging.

Above could be merged to a single line like this:

   * Rewrite rules file using short-form debhelper v8 (was CDBS).


In addition to the shortening, that also corrects the bogus notion of 
being an "update": You might (unlike some, including me) consider CDBS 
inferior to short-form dh, but one is not a successor for the other - 
they are just different, and both actively in use!
