Hi Ian,

As I mentioned before,

https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/suites

will give a list of suites.

I've also added:

https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/suite/unstable
https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/suite/sid
etc
which will find the same data regardless of whether it's by suite_name
or codename, so you can use this for canonicalisation.

I'll restart the API server once I can sync the code across (dinstall is
currently running).

Thanks,

Mark
