Feature request CI: mention in changelogs when adds package dependencies

[Timo Jyrinki]

This occurred today and would be a nice feature for some future iteration of CI:

- When MP adds a build or runtime dependency on some new package in debian/control, automatically add a text for it in debian/changelog

Example:

Commit message: Add settings page, per design specification. (LP: #1351183)

diff:
--- webbrowser-app-0.23+15.04.20150331.2/debian/control
+++ webbrowser-app-0.23+15.04.20150407.4/debian/control

I don't see how this would even be possible. The diff doesn't even show
where that line is being added. This feature would require a great deal of
semantic knowledge about the debian/control file that just isn't there.

how about we instead add a blocking test that denies a landing if a change in debian/control is detected but the package name is not greppable in the chanelog ?

[Robert Bruce Park (robru)]

Because the train doesn't run any tests of any kind, it just runs "bzr bd"
and uploads the result. You're asking for a significant increase in
overhead on the train side. It's not clear to me how to implement this in a
sensible way.
