Bug#793666: /usr/bin/debsign: debsign should refuse to sign a changes file with Distribution: UNRELEASED by default

[Johannes Schauer]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.5
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/debsign

Hi,

when running dpkg-buildpackage in a source with UNRELEASED in the latest
changelog entry, then I will get:

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: not signing UNRELEASED build; use --force-sign to override

I think this is sensible behaviour which debsign should copy.

I.e. I propose that debsign also not sign changes files with
Distribution: UNRELEASED by default but instead would require a
--force-sign argument if the user really insists that they want this.

cheers, josch
