Shouldn't it always be kept in the resulting changes file?  It's just
build metadata like the changes/dsc files.  Before I got distracted by
other things, I was considering applying a patch like

diff --git i/scripts/mergechanges.sh w/scripts/mergechanges.sh
index 1e07622..881dec9 100755
--- i/scripts/mergechanges.sh
+++ w/scripts/mergechanges.sh
@@ -141,6 +141,10 @@ checksum_uniq() {
 			echo "$line"
 		    fi
 		    ;;
+		(*.buildinfo)
+		    # build metadata
+		    echo "$line"
+		    ;;
 		(*)
 		    echo "Unrecognised file, is it architecture-dependent?" >&2
 		    echo "$line" >&2

Cheers,
