binutils: debian/changelog formatting issue

[Paul Wise (Debian)]

The Debian python modules emits warnings when parsing
the debian/changelog file from binutils 2.32-8ubuntu1:

   $ python3 -c 'from debian import changelog as c; f = open("debian/changelog"); c.Changelog(f)'
   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: *
     warnings.warn(message)
   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/debian/changelog.py:484: UserWarning: Unexpected line while looking for next heading of EOF: -- Matthias Klose <doko@x1> Wed, 13 Dec 2017 10:50:43 +0000
     warnings.warn(message)

It is caused by this changelog entry:

   binutils (2.29-8ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

     * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
       - Build from upstream sources.

This doesn't appear to be present in the equivalent Debian version.
