This is based on ideas of me and Ben. Thanks goes to Thorsten and Alexander for the vital help in 2012. Also Thanks to maximilian for the review of my diverse patches. 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.
