[Bug 2045185] [NEW] [submittodebian] Add option to send the last N changelog entries

[Olivier Gayot]

Public bug reported:

submittodebian generates the debdiff to submit based on the last added
changelog entry.

Sometimes, we are doing successive uploads to Ubuntu, as in the
following example:

khmer (3.0.0~a3+dfsg-5ubuntu3) noble; urgency=medium

  * Ensure that the scripts properly close files that they open for writing.
    Python 3.12 seems to be less forgiving and oftentimes, files end up
    truncated.
  * Ensure importlib is used instead of imp, which was dropped from Python
    3.12.

khmer (3.0.0~a3+dfsg-5ubuntu2) noble; urgency=medium

  * Fix obsolete function call in previous patch.

khmer (3.0.0~a3+dfsg-5ubuntu1) noble; urgency=medium

  * Fix build against Python 3.12 (LP: #2044383).

It would be great to have the option in submittodebian to include the
changes of the last N uploads (here the last 3) and send them to Debian
as one bigger debdiff.
