Currently, there is no way to specify the target distribution of a package 
created
using "make-jpkg" as the distribution is hardcoded to "unstable" in the source 
of
java-package.

It may, however, be desirable to specify the target distribution. Non-official 
repos
using tools such as reprepro are often organized internally based on the names
of the supported distributions ("stable", "sid" or "xenial"). When uploading to 
such
repos, packages made by make-jpkg will not be processed due to a mismatch in
the name of the target distribution.

The attached patch adds the desired functionality by adding a parameter named
"--distribution". If the parameter is specified, the value of it will be used 
as target
distribution in the changelog of the resulting package. If the parameter is 
unset,
"unstable" will be used, imitating the default behavior until now.

Thanks,
Martin
