If the package's debian/changelog has a first line with version 0,
dh_installchangelogs fails with

Hi,

This should have been fixed in debhelper/11.2 as a part of
https://bugs.debian.org/894895.

Thanks,

(Right... that's why I linked to that bug.
It would have been nice if I had noticed this problem a month ago, apologies...)

Apologies; I just hit reply when I saw the subject. I had not seen you
had already referenced relevant upstream bug. :)

Thanks,
