Please don't do it that way.

That most (all?) release are links to the same config shows that there
isn't a need for individual configs for each codename. Instead any
Ubuntu release that doesn't have a specific config should fall back to
a default ubuntu config.

Similary any Debian release should have a fallback to a default Debian
config.

That way debootstrap wouldn't need an update every time a new codename
is added and wouldn't need backports jsut to add a single link.
