It's supposed to. That's what the code in changelog-file is supposed to
do:
my $changes = $info->changelog;
if (my @errors = $changes->get_parse_errors) {
foreach (@errors) {
tag "syntax-error-in-debian-changelog", "line $_->[1]",
"\"$_->[2]\"";
}
}
This is checked in the test suite, so it presumably didn't stop working
entirely. Do you have a changelog file that you expected to produce
errors which didn't?
