I have just been experimenting and deb-changelog(5) indicated that the
distributions field can be a space separated list.

If you change /etc/os-release to contain

 VERSION_CODENAME="daedalus ceres"

Does that enable mkdebian to run successfully without setting
KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST manually?

Thanks
