I would suggest users always refer to distributions in the source.lists by the code name. This would prevent unplanned upgrade at release time. If the user has deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian stable main contrib and do a apt-get upgrade after sarge is released to install a security upgade, they will get into the sarge upgrade procedure without having planned for (reading the release notes, etc.).
