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.
