Title:
  debcheckout should allow checking out Debian source

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
