I just want to point people towards the fact that the Janitor's is now
being clever about recognizing whether a package is using `gbp dch`
(which I believe is the case you refer to when you say that UNRELEASED
is not used), or changelog entires are added whenever a change is done.


That said, I acknoledge that it makes sense to converge on a single
solution for the whole team, and honestly I don't have much of a strong
preference towards either one.
