The attached patch allows one to override the distributor ID from lsb_release, since the distro I'm running on may not be the one I'm working on.
With this change, one then says: dch --distributor=Debian ... to get Debian's behavior. The default remains whatever distributor's OS you're running on, which I believe is the right answer. (Personally, I alias 'dch' and 'uch' in .profile.) -- debchange should not add Ubuntu specific stuff to my changelog https://launchpad.net/bugs/85366 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
