You amend it. To avoid ambigiouness: Until the first upload is sponsored, you just keep a single changelog entry. In the case of a new upstream version, you just change the version accordingly. For example a fictional package foobar, updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1: foobar (1.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Initial Package (Closes: #…) would become: foobar (1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Initial Package (Closes: #…) Version 1.0.0-1 will NOT be mentioned in d/changelog, as there are no changes to the Debian package if there was no prior upload. -- Cheers, tobi
