That seems to be right and said changelog is meant as a change to the one found in the .dsc file (that originates from debian/changelog that is in the debian.tar.gz, hence why)

I found this on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Debian_builds

If you add a debian.changelog, OBS checks if the version number of the changelog matches the one found in the .dsc file. If not, it adds a fake entry containing the version number from the .dsc file. This ensures that the version of source and binary package stays in sync. 
---

So file needs to be named debian.changelog (or debian_11.changelog? etc ).
It is an osb thing these DEBTRANSFORMS, so I rely on online documentation to figure out the osb part of the total build.

Yeah, I've seen that debian is complicated compared to what you are making for ArchLinux as a recipe.
