That's simple: because you might want to distribute a (test) package in
an apt-get'table way (e.g. via people.d.o) so you're running
mini-dinstall or similar and have to set the distribution to something
useful but want to point out that this is not an officially "release"
version.
Wouldn't you problem be solved if "-R" remove the UNRELEASED?
