pre-release 1.2 should be codenamed and accessed by a pre-release-1.2
symlink to simplify the massive mirror copying issue when it's renamed
to debian-1.2 (or debian-2.0, or whatever we release it as). Then,
when we create another codenamed directory and point a pre-release-1.3
symlink at that, I think we end up with the currently proposed scheme.
That being the case, it makes sense to structure the debian-1.1 access
arrangement so that it also follows that scheme.
