[mk-sbuild] Unable to create schroot in lunar

[Vladimir Petko]

[Impact]
mk-sbuild does not work at all due to a typo introduced late in the lunar cycle.

[Test plan]
Run `mk-sbuild lunar` and verify that it succeeds.

[Where problems could occur]
This is a one-line fix to a command that currently fails completely. Minimal risk of regression.

[Original bug report]
mk-sbuild --name jdk lunar

It appears there is a typo around line 907, see attached patch

Hello Vladimir, or anyone else affected,

Accepted ubuntu-dev-tools into lunar-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-tools/0.193ubuntu2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-lunar to verification-done-lunar. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-lunar. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

The build fails due to distro-info[1] package throwing DistroDataOutdated as there is no update for the current development version (lunar is released).
