I had a package rejected out of NEW because of that (same case:
UNRELEASED in changelog, Distribution: unstable in .changes). Being
curious, I asked ftpmasters why it this was a problem (besides not being
very beautiful), but didn't get an answer.
I think that it's mostly harmless: I can't think of any important part
of Debian architecture parsing the changelog to extract that
information. It probably just doesn't look nice on
http://packages.debian.org/.
