I guess the correct solution is to make dbootstrap write unstable instead of sid, but I don't know how to handle slink and potato. Suggestions? Here is an idea: slink and sid will never change, their proper names are just that, slink and sid. Once woody is released someone installing potato

This will certianly work, but I still don't understand why that code is so fond of the release names, when with a simple change to debootstrap, it The code is fond of release names because : 1 - that's what debootstrap wanted 2 - that is a common way of talking about releases, which is
