Bug#766516: dch -r can delete the preceeding changelog entry

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.14.10
Severity: normal

If I run dch -r with the not quite correctly formatted changelog below,
it results in the entry below the UNRELEASED one getting deleted.

dch is getting confused by the lack of a full name before the email address.

myrepos (1.20140831.2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Add darcs grep command using ack-grep.
    Thanks, Paul Wise.
  * Add a clean command.
    Thanks, Paul Wise. Closes: #702685
