Hi, with wheezy released and development on jessie started the problem with binNMUs for multiarch-enabled packages is back: binNMU'ed packages have different changelog entries and upgrades fail (for example [1]).
[1] <http://bugs.debian.org/708097> It's quite annoying as the problem is only detected when dpkg tries to extract the package. There have been previous discussions how to fix this[2]. The dpkg maintainers would like to treat changelogs and copyright files as metadata and move them out of /usr/share/doc[3]. [2] <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2012/07/msg00017.html> [3] <http://bugs.debian.org/681289> I believe it will still take a while to reach a consensus and implement it. So I would like to propose a temporary solution until this is sorted out: Let dh_installchangelogs split out the binNMU changelog entry into a changelog(.Debian).$arch.gz file for now. Yes, this might not be the final solution, but at least binNMUs shouldn't break any longer, at least as long as they have the same version across all architectures. For this sbuild should add "binary-only=yes" to the changelog[4] and dh_installchangelogs split such entries into a separate file (will file a bug soon).
