Package: lintian-brush Version: 0.44 Severity: normal One of the (optional but) common properties of gbp-dch maintained changelog file is that changelog entries are prefixed by the [sha] in which they are made.
This should help lintian-brush when guessing whether a package is using gbp-dch, and thus does not need any updates to its changelog.
