Bug#514853: lintian: "Distribution" field conforming to standard is not accepted
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.2.1
Severity: normal
Debian Policy Manual section 5.6.14 Distribution writes:
In a .changes file or parsed changelog output this contains
the (space-separated) name(s) of the distribution(s) where
this version of the package should be installed.
However this line is refused by lintian:
Distribution: testing stable
$ lintian ../kmt_0.5-1_i386.changes
E: kmt_0.5-1_i386.changes: bad-distribution-in-changes-file testing stable
$
If I delete word "stable" or "testing" it works well.
