Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.10
Severity: wishlist

I'd like a way to use debcommit to commit, but only use the changelog
text as a template for my final commit message (which I might want to
tweak a bit so it's a better formed git commit message, for example).

Of course, this will mean putting it in a temp file, running the editor
on the temp file, and then reading it back in and passing it to the rcs
in the -m flag.

debcommit -C doesn't quite do what I want, but is close. If -i is
implmented, I don't know that -C will add a lot of value over it, and
perhaps -C should just become an alias for -i?
