Hey.

Not sure where this should actually go to (apt? ftp-masters? backports?)...
please reassign as it fits :-)


It's seems to have never properly worked for me, to use the suite-names for
backports repos in sources list.

E.g. having:
 deb http://foo/debian/ oldstable/updates main contrib non-free
instead of jessie/updates goes fine, but:
 deb http://foo/debian/ oldstable-backports main contrib non-free
gives a warning:
 W: Conflicting distribution: http://foo oldstable-backports InRelease (expected oldstable-backports but got jessie-backports)
in aptitude and friends.

Looking at the Release files there seem to be some possibly wrong usage of the fields?
jessie's security Release has:
 Origin: Debian
 Label: Debian-Security
 Suite: oldstable
 Codename: jessie
while that of the backports Release has:
 Origin: Debian Backports
 Label: Debian Backports
 Suite: jessie-backports
 Codename: jessie-backports
not using Suite: oldstable-backports for some reason.

Can this be fixed (for all backports suites)?

Cheers,
Chris.

This looks like something the backports ftpmasters would need to
take care of. The best way of reaching them is probably via the
backports mailing list [1].

As this bug cannot be handled in the Debian BTS, I'm closing it
here.
