The manpage says
"If the distribution of the topmost section in debian/changelog is
UNRELEASED the changelog entries will be inserted into this section.
Otherwise a new section will be created."
After an update a while ago (don't recall which or when), it stopped
actually doing this. Since then I've been hoping someone would fix this
(but since it seems not, I finally got around to filing this bug).
>From what I can tell, the problem is in git-dch line 344:
elif options.new_version or not found_snapshot_header:
# the user wants to force a new version or switch to snapshot
# mode
add_section = True
Since I'm not using snapshots, there's no snapshot header; therefore,
because of "not found_snapshot_header", this will always evaluate to True,
even though I'm *not* forcing a new version, nor do I want to "switch to
snapshot", like the comment says. I want to release, not to snapshot.
Perhaps you meant something like
elif options.new_version or (options.snapshot and not
found_snapshot_header):
