Package: git-dpm
Version: 0.9.1-1
Severity: minor

git-dpm dch generates a merge commit that merges patched into
debian, and generates a commit message for this merge commit
based on the entries which are added to the changelog during
the dch operation.  The generated commit message does not comply
with the format git expects for a commit mesage, namely a
one-line summary, usually 50 characters or less, followed by
a blank line and then the rest of the commit message.

I would propose that git-dpm dch should generate a commit message
with summary line similar to 'merge patched into debian', and
put the actual changes in the body of the commit.
