[dput-ng-maint] Bug#718384: dput-ng: codename checks don't honor local configuration

[Russ Allbery]

Package: dput-ng
Version: 1.5
Severity: important

windlord:~/work/debian/build-area> dput local *.changes
Uploading heimdal using scp to local (host: genesis.stanford.edu; directory: /srv/repos/local/incoming)
running allowed-distribution: check whether a local profile permits uploads to the target distribution
`oldstable-kdc' not in the codename group

oldstable-kdc is a local distribution for packages that we only use
on some specific hosts.  It's listed in allowed_distributions:

[local]
method = scp
login = rra
fqdn = genesis.stanford.edu
allowed_distributions = ^(unstable|stable(-[a-z]+)?|oldstable(-[a-z]+)?)$
incoming = /srv/repos/local/incoming
post_upload_command = ssh example.stanford.edu reprepro-upload local

It looks like allowed_distributions is being ignored by this check.

I had the same problem when trying to upload OpenAFS security fixes to
Debian, although I can't explain that one since stable-security does
appear to be listed in the relevant file.  But I was getting the same
error message there.

I'm currently switching back to dput for these uploads, since I can't
find a configuration knob I can turn to let them proceed.
