command to use in deploy instructions for custom repo



Hello. I have a custom APT repo (for squeeze/wheezy/jessie) for my software and Readme page for it with install instructions.

It contains the following line:

echo "deb http://SOMEURL/debian/current $(lsb_release -sc) main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/SOMEREPO.list

recently I found this line is wrong:

1) lsb_release is not available in some debian installs (minimal install? rasberry-pi ? )
2) if user uses FISH as login shell , this _expression_ "$(lsb_release -sc)" won't work.
3) probably some users would want to use "stable" instead of "wheezy" etc.

What is the recommended way to write such install instructions?
