Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.13
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/debchange

I use dch in scripts to rebuild packages for different distributions (using
pbuilder), and its annoying having to say that yes, I know "etch-backports" or
"gutsy" are not valid Debian distributions.  When I'm doing one its annoying,
but I'd like to be able to leave my machine rebuilding something like qemu (20
minute compile) for five different distributions without having to press return
five times.

Something like --force-distribution to skip the check would be great as far as
I'm concerned.
