Title:
  binutils: debian/changelog formatting issue

Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Debian python modules emits warnings when parsing
  the debian/changelog file from binutils 2.32-8ubuntu1:

     $ python3 -c 'from debian import changelog as c; f = open("debian/changelog"); c.Changelog(f)'
     /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF:   * 
       warnings.warn(message)
     /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF:  -- Matthias Klose <doko at x1>  Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000
       warnings.warn(message)

  It is caused by this changelog entry:

     binutils (2.29-8ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

       * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
         - Build from upstream sources.

      -- Matthias Klose <doko at ubuntu.com>  Wed, 30 Aug 2017 08:13:33 +0200
       * 

      -- Matthias Klose <doko at x1>  Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000

  This doesn't appear to be present in the equivalent Debian version.

   affects ubuntu/binutils
