DESCRIPTION

       dpt dch-note is a helper program for adding notes to debian/changelog file. These can be
       useful for keeping track of TODO items or signaling PET to ignore new upstream releases.

OPTIONS

       --ignore
       --ignore-version
           Add an "IGNORE-VERSION: version" comment. This is useful for instructing PET that this
           upstream release contains no changes that warrant an upload, for example changes in
           META files or fixes concerning only non-UNIX platforms.

       --waits package version
       --waits-for package version
           Add a "WAITS-FOR: package version" comment. This is useful to indicate that uploading
           of this package needs another package to be uploaded first. This also instructs PET
           not to show this package as ready for uploading until the required package version is
           available in the archive.

       --unreleased
           Change distribution in debian/changelog to "unreleased". This is done to indicate that
           the package needs more work and is not ready for reviewing/uploading.
