When finalizing changelogs for upload, I've found it very easy to forget to update debian/NEWS as well, and have sometimes made uploads that include "UNRELEASED" entries there. Those are then presented to users, which looks untidy. Could `dch -r` perhaps also check the top entry in debian/NEWS to see if it has the same version as the top entry in debian/changelog, and if so then update it as well? Thanks,
