Thanks for the URL and sorry for being unclear.
Here a reposting of my question with additional information.

It are the slashes that bother me.

Are you simply saying that anna is hardcoded to a suite
and that stable, slash testing, slash sid should be supported?

Probably we just not care about the slashes. Just tell us what should be done.
I did take a look at anna, but could not translate your request into action. 
So I go to an other place where I can help.
