[Bug 1069867] [NEW] syncpackage picks up too many changelog versions when the target is -proposed

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

raring is likely to start requiring that packages be uploaded to
-proposed by default.  When syncpackage is used with "-r raring-
proposed", it picks up far too many changelog versions:

syncpackage: Source abcde -> raring/Proposed: not in Ubuntu, new version 2.5.4-1
syncpackage: New changes:
abcde (2.5.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release with bug fixes.
    + Update GPL/FSF headers to match current versions. Thanks to vskytta
      for the patch. (Closes issue 69).
    + Fix the command line for ID3SYNTAX=eyed3. Thanks to neil.gm.richards
      for the patch. Closes issue 50.
    + Switch to eyed3 by default for MP3 tagging, as it looks to do UTF-8
      tagging better. Closes issue 22 (hopefully)
  * Remove the "A " from the beginning of the description to fix a
    lintian warning

abcde (2.5.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release with lots of bug fixes.
[...]

The previous version in raring was 2.5.3-1.  syncpackage should look in
the release pocket if there isn't anything in proposed.
