Hi!

While running with a dpkg-dev fixing #749044, I found out that debchange
is assuming that the emitted space on the first empty line for a
multiline field will always be present (from dpkg-parsechangelog output).
Here's a minimal patch fixing that. (Probably it would make sense to
switch the code to use Dpkg::Changelog::Parse, which should be more
robust.)

I'm pondering adding a versioned Breaks against devscripts to dpkg-dev,
but I'm not sure if that will be too harsh, as I was initially thinking
about uploading it either today or tomorrow, and only debchange breaks.

Thanks,
Guillem
