So I think we have, arguably, an option parsing bug in dch, too. Here
`sid' is ignored. It is `text' (according to the FM) but that is not
meaningful with --release, which just finalises the changelog. So it
ought to have been rejected. Do you agree ?
I will send more patches later.
Thanks and sorry for being a dunce.
