stable testing and unstable are links to real directories.
hamm, potato, woody, and sid are the names of real directories.
But I had not thought that frozen was either a link or a directory.
I had supposed frozen was an official administrative condition of the
data/software in the directory to which testing pointed.
Am I mistaken?
Could one have had a line in sources.list such as
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free
I think I never saw a frozen link on any of the mirrors that I follow.
