The --package-merge option should detect the last time the package was merged into Ubuntu, and pass an appropriate -v option to dpkg-buildpackage. Instead, when run against lp:ubuntu/e2fsprogs for package version 1.42~WIP-2011-10-09-1ubuntu1, it spits out these errors:
parsechangelog/debian: warning: 'since' option specifies non-existing version
parsechangelog/debian: warning: use newest entry that is earlier than the one specified
parsechangelog/debian: warning: none found, starting from the oldest entry
and the resulting .changes includes all the changelog entries back to 1995.
