As I understand it, buzz is the current stable version and rex is
the current unstable version.  Ie, buzz contains the latest official
release, where as rex is the latest "work in progress".  The reason
for the strange names is to make mirroring the debian site easier.
When rex becomes officially released, all that needs changing will be
symbolic links rather than the copying and deleting of huge numbers of
files unneccessarily.

I hope this helps.
