Package: git-debpush
Version: 12.12

Here is another small UX improvement idea.  On errors it looks like
this:

jas@kaka:~/dpkg/gsasl$ git debpush -t
git-debpush: check failed: last upload targeted unstable, now targeting
experimental; might be a mistake? ('changed-suite' check)
git-debpush: some check(s) failed; you can pass --force to ignore them
jas@kaka:~/dpkg/gsasl$ 

This is very close to a perfect error message but could be improved by
1) adding keyword 'error:' so the user understands that this is what
actually triggers the failure (rather than some unrelated warning), and
2) suggest the --force=changed-suite explicitly to make it more
actionable.  So how about:

git-debpush: error: check failed: last upload targeted unstable but now
targeting experimental; use '--force=changed-suite' to override

The last error line above then becomes a bit redundant and could be
removed.
