Joey, is this correct? If so, what (if anything) can be done?
Yes that's right, and nothing at this time.
Why can't "woody" just be a valid setting?
"woody" should never be a valid setting, in my opinion.
"unstable", "testing" or "frozen" yes, but never the distro codename.
But the question is: How to change it from 'stable' to the snapshot of
choice, automagically?
I'm almost positive that it's probably almost impossible. The best we
could hope for is a fancy little addition to the code in the dbootstrap
(I think that's right), perhaps right near the beginning that allows a
choice of which flavour you want to install, and then perform a
variable-substitution the rest of the way through.
I'm not saying that it would be overly pretty, or easy to do (ie: I
can't do it!) but I'm sure if you wanted to do this little improvement
and submit a patch to the appropriate maintainer........who knows.
Anywho, just thinking out loud here.
