Bug#695975: should have different release_pattern on wheezy

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/build-rdeps
Tags: patch, wheezy

build-rdeps is not useful out of the box on wheezy system since it would only provide a confusing message like:

    build-rdeps: unable to find sources files.
    Did you forget to run apt-get update (or add --update to this command)?

that is because of

    $> grep release_pattern /usr/bin/build-rdeps
    my $release_pattern = '(.*_dists_(sid|unstable))_(?:In)*Release$';

which hard-coded the names.  As a quick resolution geared toward wheezy it
could be patched to become (wheezy|stable) (consider this a patch ;) ),
but imho in the long run it should use 

    lsb_release -rc 

output to determine possible choices for the default regexp expression.
