This has been discussed before (in fact, several cycles in a row) and
it's been agreed each time that a) is the more common case which we want
the precise packages to support out of the box.  Developers working on
packages for quantal should prepare them using the quantal tools.

Title:
  debchange: "quantal" is the default distribution in precise

Status in “devscripts” source package in Precise:

Status in “devscripts” source package in Quantal:

Bug description:
  devscripts 2.11.6ubuntu1.1 alters debchange's default for the
  distribution field to "quantal". I would imagine that that majority of
  precise users who invoke debchange will be preparing uploads to
  precise, i.e. for their PPAs.

  From my skim of the devscripts changelog, it looks like this update
  usually waits until after release. Please consider reverting
  debchange's default distribution in precise to "precise".
