dpkg-genchanges includes the changelog only for the last version.
Sometimes we want to include the changes up to more previous versions,
like when packages have some version in -proposed and another version
bump happens before it goes to -updates, and we need the changelog to
contain more entries up to the previous version in -updates.

Add a LAST_VERSION variable that can be used in command line to allow
specifying a different version for dpkg-genchanges to choose what gets
included in the package changelog.
