My question is "why do you need to rely on the changelog only?". It
seems fairly obvious to me that when trying to identify a wrong change
one would look at the bzr history and not at debian/changelog.
It's so obvious, that I'm sure I'm missing something. :-)

Secondly: why would it be your duty to identify the wrong change?
Shouldn't you just reject the upload and let upstream clean up the mess?
