    Add the "--distribution" parameter
    
    This commit adds the "--distribution" paramater, effectively allowing to
    specify the target distribution in the changelog of the resulting java
    package. This feature is particularly helpful when dealing with local
    repositories maintained by software such as reprepro and organized based
    on different distributions.
