Bug#382327: Please don't consider UNRELEASED an invalid distro



Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.22
Severity: wishlist

E: mdadm_2.5.3-1~unreleased.3_i386.changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file UNRELEASED

I think it would be better not to flag this as an error. UNRELEASED
is a commonly used name in changelogs during testing and it's
refused by dak anyhow. If lintian reports an error, it's impossible
to get error-free lintian runs during testing, which may lead
maintainers to ignore lintian altogether (or miss other things in
skim mode).
