[Bug 864460] [NEW] debcheckout should allow checking out Debian source

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

I routinely compare Ubuntu packaging with Debian's when I'm updating a
package. I've been doing this manually but tried debcheckout today but
it pulls the latest Ubuntu source.

I'd like to see a -d --distribution= option to specify Debian or Ubuntu.
