I build my package with sbuild and it writes the Distribution field in
the .changes according to the parameter given on the command line.
I recently had the case that I have left UNRELEASED in debian/changelog
and built my package with sbuild and lintian did not warn me.
Unfortunately this happens often to sbuild users. :(
I'm not sure what the proper solution is. Ideally it would detect the
mismatch beween the .changes and the changelog in the source package
but I guess it's not easy.
The relevant part of the changelog is included in *.changes, so that's
easy to check. See the patch attached to the other bug.
