This is based on ideas of me and Ben. Thanks goes to Thorsten and Alexander for the vital help in 2012. Like in my initial patch [1] lsb_release is used to determine the short codename as distribution name for debian/changelog. Ben gave some helpful and detailed information in [2]. There he also suggested to have an option to explicitly set the distribution (see $KDEB_CHANGELOG_DIST variable). I have hardcoded the script-name when the default distribution is used. This is a bit ugly. This patch is based on the snippet of Ben in [2] and tested against Linux v3.19-rc2.
