Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: normal
As discussed at length in debian-user it should be possible to use
release identifiers like "oldstable", "stable", .. and their actual
names (sarge, etch, ...) interchangeably throughout all configuration
files for aptitude.
This is not the case for pinning the Default-Release in
/etc/apt/apt.conf. If i enter something like:
APT::Default-Release "etch"
aptitude will not honour this setting, and won't even complain about it.
It is not intuitive to use actual names in /etc/apt/sources.list as a
lot of users are instructed right now and not being able to do so when
setting the default realease.
