For the changelog part, I thought *not* requiring a specific suite would also be
a good compromise.
Why do we even bother putting the suite into the changelog? I don't see the point myself.
I believe it is the DISTRIBUTION header in the changes file that matters, the changelog value is only used as a default for the DISTRIBUTION header (unless overridden in the build process).
Once the file is uploaded, the value is not used again, and may become obsolete, e.g. as the package migrates from unstable to stable.
Personally, my build script sets the DISTRIBUTION header automatically based on the chroot I build the package in.
