package aims to be compatible with. lintian-brush will not make any
changes that require packages or features not present in this

"stable", "unstable"). Version numbers are currently
not supported.
- The default compat release is "stable".
allow-reformatting = True|False
- If allow-reformatting is enabled, lintian-brush will
make changes to debian files in a way that does not necessarily preserve
existing formatting.
- If disabled, lintian-brush will not run any fixers that can
not preserve formatting.
update-changelog = True|False
- The update-changelog setting determines whether new
lines in the changelog will be added for the changes that lintian-brush
has made to the package.
- By default, lintian-brush will automatically (using some
basic heuristics, such as checking for the presence of a [dch]
section in debian/gbp.conf) determine whether the changelog should
be updated.
- You may want to set this to False if you are using
"gbp dch" to generate your changelog entries.
