It would be nice if reprepro had a feature to rename a distribution.

For example I have a "kali" distribution and would like to rename it
to "moto" and use "kali" as "suite" name.

I don't know of a simple and clean way to do this automatically without
confusing reprepro. 

I can rename the files in "dists" and the configuration in "conf/distributions"
but I can't update the database files in "db/*".

Due to this, I have to create a new distribution, copy over all the
packages (with some reprepro command), drop the old distribution.
