I'm taking from what I understood was meant by this: 
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog

I may well have just misinterpreted it, but it says 
"distribution(s) lists the distributions where this version should be 
installed when it is uploaded - it is copied to the Distribution field in 
the .changes file. See Distribution, Section 5.6.14."
