I forgot to add the changes to debian/changelog, increasing
automatically from jessie2 to jessie3 (the upstream branch hasn't
changed, we only added a quilt patch to the debian branch):

$ git-dch --ignore-branch --auto --full

After that, you can do some minor refinements handly to debian/changelog.

The changes in debian/changelog are allways the latest commit done in
the repository.

Hope this help,

    Aitor.
