See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=542747 where I
sent a patch to Lintian to check for this mismatch.

Earlier on that bug, Russ said "there are valid use cases for a
mismatch [when the Changes distribution isn't UNRELEASED]" but didn't
elaborate on what those valid use cases were. (foo vs. foo-proposed-updates,
possibly?)
