I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread or keep up with this, but on the basis of what I've read, would it then make sense for the --help text to read something like: "just open up an editor" if the default behaviour is in place, but something like: "just update the timestamp... [behaviour modified by DEBCHANGE_MAINTTRAILER option]" if that is the case? That way, the help information will reflect the actual situation for that user?
