As a mere user I'd say this is the best approach: add debian10, debian
11 etc. alias or perhaps later make it the proper name.

My first Debian was Woody. I remember that Sarge was after that, then
Etch or Lenny (I think), but it all started to blur at that time. Now I
know that I'm using Debian 9 but don't remember its name. I don't
remember what was the name of the previous version.

I think it's best to use version numbers for communication with users
and to configure Debian (like sources.list).

Anyway, thank you for this excellent operating system.
