Bug#705170: E: bad-distribution-in-changes-file squeeze-backports-sloppy

[Romain Francoise <rfrancoise@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.11
Severity: normal

lintian doesn't know about squeeze-backports-sloppy and complains about
my changes file. Trivial patch against Git:

diff --git a/checks/changes-file b/checks/changes-file
