git-dch can now be told about maint-merge. Good. But, it broke it for us
using ~/.devscripts to set DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE=yes, since it always
passes the --no-maint-merge flag unless told otherwise.

The behavior should be to not pass any flag unless explicitly told to.

..oO( Maybe it is best to do like git-buildpackage command, that merely
passes on any flag it does not understand. )

Hi Felipe,
sufficient anymore and you now have to also pass it git-dch explicitly?
Do I understand that correctly?

Cheers,

P.S.: We can't simply pass on stuff to dch since we have to mess with
the options for the correct trailers etc.

Yes, that is correct.

Oh, ok then. This is unfortunate.
