That would be very useful.  It's easy enough to get the
distribution from the changelog and check if it's different.
Passing it to the logger process will be a little harder
though--it's a coprocess which receives the output from
sbuild, dpkg-buildpackage and all their child processes,
and then sends it on to the logfile, terminal etc.
I'll have to consider how best to pass the information over
since we don't know at the time the logger is started.

Roger
