Package: lintian
Severity: minor

Hi,

Sometimes stupid maintainer (=me) forgets about changing from UNRELEASED
distribution to unstable at build with cowbuilder. Could you add foolproof
warning to lintian?


And I've tried to check it with .changes file, below warning seems to not
work.

>$ head -n2 ~/tmp/hello-2.10/debian/changelog
>hello (2.10-1.1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

>$ lintian -i ~/tmp/hello_2.10-1.1_amd64.changes
>W: hello source: ancient-standards-version 3.9.6 (current is 4.1.1)

/usr/share/lintian/checks/changes-file.desc says
Tag: unreleased-changes
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Info: The distribution in the <tt>Changes</tt> field copied from
 <tt>debian/changelog</tt> indicates that this package was not intended
 to be released yet.
Ref: #542747
