Well, it seems we have been 'bag-snatched' of an important term.
Should we follow down all the greek alphabet or someone has a better
hint?
Anyway we can always call them 'beta':
debian-1.1 ----> buzz <-- stable
debian-1.1.15 ----> buzz-fixed <-- current, latest
beta-1.2 ----> rex <-- frozen
beta-1.3 ----> bo <-- unstable
beta-1.4 ----> woody
