Bug#542747: [frontend] check mismatch between Distribution and Changes in *.changes

Personally, I would have *really* ***loved*** to have such a check in
place. #559659 led me to upload a few dozens of packages to the wrong
distribution, without having a fighting chance since lintian said
nothing.

As a “compromise” with what you were proposing, I guess it could be an
E: in the UNRELEASED case, and a W: in other cases?
