docs: merging/fix-the-changelog tip seems out of place #276

Description

@seb128

https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/contributors/merging/fix-the-changelog includes this tip


:::{tip}
You can use the {command}`execsnoop-bpfcc` tool from the {pkg}`bpfcc-tools` package to find what `debhelper` scripts were called for a certain package. This is helpful for debugging what scripts were called, and what parameters were passed to them.

For example:

```none
$ sudo execsnoop-bpfcc -n multipath
```

Now in another shell run:

```none
$ sudo apt install --reinstall multipath-tools
```

In the original shell, you should see something like:

```none
PCOMM            PID     PPID    RET ARGS
multipath-tools  13939   13931     0 /var/lib/dpkg/info/multipath-tools.prerm upgrade 0.9.4-5ubuntu3
multipath-tools  13951   13931     0 /var/lib/dpkg/info/multipath-tools.postrm upgrade 0.9.4-5ubuntu3
multipath-tools  13959   13956     0 /var/lib/dpkg/info/multipath-tools.postinst configure 0.9.4-5ubuntu3
multipathd       14009   1         0 /sbin/multipathd -d -s
```
:::

Unsure what is has to do with updating the changelog in case of a merge, seems a bug to have it included there?
