Package: devscripts
Version: 2.20.3
Severity: wishlist

It is recommended to manipulate changelog files with dch where
possible to avoid scripts and regexps in utilities that go out of
date. To fix bug #961873 it is necessary to remove the 2nd
copy of a version stanza, but I see that dch does not provide a
--delete option, which leaves seddery or other things that will
probably break one day.

I realise it's an uncommon case, but it seems to me that dch is the
right place for this functionality.

If you agree that this is functionality worth having I could try and knock up a 
patch.
