(Dropping #647028 from CC. Roger's message, and most of Thorsten's
message had nothing to do with lintian...)

it's now possible to run dpkg-parsechangelog and change the
distribution default when building locally. This is the case right
now.
This still doesn't solve the problem of building a local .dsc, which
would require an unpack of the source package to determine the
distribution, but does solve it for unpacked sources. Adding support
for using a .changes file in place of a .dsc is still on my TODO, list.
The idea of running sbuild on *.changes sounds very weird to me, but as
long as I don't have to use it, I don't really mind.
I understand that if you have only .dsc at hand, you need to know which
chroot to use. So make -c mandatory if -d is not given, and the problem
is solved.
Once a .changes is accepted, we could only permit setting the
distribution in buildd mode.
Why? Auto-detecting distribution is good, but what's wrong with an
option to set it manually?
