The "stable" there was meant to mean the "stable version of s3cmd" 
instead of the stable release of Debian. But I see now that by the 
Debian conventions the "stable" is understood to mean the current Debian 
release. Hmm, that's indeed a bit confusing.

On the other hand the DEB file is created in such a way that it should 
work on all current DEB-based distros and I see a little point in 
creating the aliases. So far (in less than 2 days since the 
announcement) nearly 60 servers got the repo activated, both Debian and 
Ubuntu of various versions (guessing from the User-agent log records). 
Although the "stable/" bit may be a little uncommon it seems to work for 
the folks :)
