There are several places where you can find the release name:
kibi@arya:~/debian-installer/manual$ ack-grep jessie
build/buildone.sh
59: manual_release="jessie"
build/build.sh
8:manual_release=${manual_release:=jessie}
build/buildweb.sh
8:manual_release=${manual_release:=jessie}
build/entities/common.ent
14:<!ENTITY releasename "jessie">
I think we tend to update those all at once, but I think I'd go for
common.ent
> (And yes CVS-haters, this one is on Git ;-).
Hah. :)
Busy with d-i things right now, so won't be sending a patch. Maybe later
if nobody beats me to it.
Mraw,
