[Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>]

retitle -1 dput: please check for Distribution: UNRELEASED before upload
retitle -2 dupload: please check for Distribution: UNRELEASED before upload
reassign -1 dput
reassign -2 dupload
block 382327 -1 -2
thanks

Hello, dput and dupload maintainers,

We have a request to tell lintian to not reject UNRELEASED as a
distribution so that testing packages not yet ready for upload can be
checked with lintian with an expectation of no errors.  However, I don't
really want to do this until there's another check that will catch
UNRELEASED before uploading it to be rejected by dak.

Could you add support to dput and dupload to see if the Distribution in
the *.changes file is set to UNRELEASED and reject the upload if so?
After that's done, we'll make the change to lintian.

Thanks!
