You may see something such as

--CL--
    - d/control: demote ipmitool and sbd dependencies to Suggests.
      fence-agents-{ipmilan,sbd} depend on packages in universe, instead
      of promoting them to main let's change the relationship to
      Suggests.

In the git commit message. This is used for git-ubuntu to generate the debian/changelog at the end of the merge without having to do weird formatting. This should be included in ./PackageMerging.md.
