[Bug 347787] Re: dch -r's Ubuntu behavior not documented in man page

[Thomas Preud'homme]

Behavior in vivid is still to use the current distribution rather than
look at the previous changelog entry [1] and the manual is still
inconsistent with that [2]

[1] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/devscripts/vivid/view/head:/scripts/debchange.pl#L1396
[2] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/devscripts/vivid/view/head:/scripts/debchange.1#L176

Can this be documented please? It led me to upload something to the
wrong distribution on a PPA and needed to reupload with a higher version
because of that.
