This will help:

    $ cat ~/.bazaar/builddeb.conf
    [BUILDDEB]
    commit-message-from-changelog=False

Which bzr-builddeb are you using? Recent versions default to False.

Instead of, bzr commit, you could use:

    debcommit --edit

let's you edit before commiting, if you are doing a merge for example.

These two are better, if you have for example LP: #XYYYZZZ in the
changelog, debcommit / autocommit will automatically link the commit to
the bug leading to linking the branch on launchpad on push automatically
for you.

packaging.

It is fully customizable to fit your workflow.
