It is not a single mode, actually. The dpkg-dev-el package contains:
debian-bts-control - builds control at bugs.debian.org email messages;
debian-changelog-mode - a helper mode for Debian changelogs;
debian-control-mode - a helper mode for debian/control files;
debian-copyright - major mode for Debian package copyright files;
readme-debian - major mode for editing README.Debian files.
File /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev-el/README.Debian contains a description of
these files.
I mostly use the debian-changelog-mode, which is extremely handy for
inserting new items, bug-closing strings, and trailer lines automatically
in debian/changelog files.
It would be great to have them translated into JED. It is a shame that I
need Emacs to produce the Debian JED packages... :-)
