I expect they are required by something, to find out you could delete them or trace the variable usage. TBH all of the hard-coding of release version numbers, suites, codenames, components and architectures in various Debian services needs to be removed and replaced with loading from the canonical locations. That is a *lot* more work than just bumping the releases again and again though. Personally I've given up on trying to fix the hard-coding situation, which is incompletely summarised here: https://wiki.debian.org/SuitesAndReposExtension -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
