Feel free to apply the patch.

However, I would instead propose a change to the DJG Guidelines

  When committing changes that do not result in a Debian release, keep
  debian/changelog in a clearly broken state, such that the other developers
  will know that the version is not yet released.  
  
Would it be sufficient to have the   
  
        NOT YET RELEASED!
  
note?

I'd like to scrap this rule:

  Note the absence of signature and release date.  dpkg-buildpackage will
  refuse to build a package

Currently, I have to delete the release date before every commit of
changelog to keep to this rule and reinsert it for every test-build.
