Hmm, actually just noticed today that we also have stuff like: <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian7.11/> <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian8.11/> <http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian9.5/> Which includes the whole version (and not just the major part) and does not use a separator, unlike archive.d.o, so we have inconsistent usage already. :( Thanks, Guillem
