When all commits for -2 are accepted in the master branch, I would
update debian/changelog to have the 15-2 entry between 15-1 and 16-1.

An alternative would be to just have one changelog entry in the master
branch and document the basis, e.g.:

rdma-core (16-1) unstable; urgency=low

* New upstream release.
* Packaging is based on rdma-core 15-2 from Debian
* Downgrade debhelper to >= 9 to support Debian 7 & 8
