Both are "correct", but different.  If you leave "woody" in there,
repeated 'apt-get upgrade's over time will leave you following the
"woody" distribution, even after it becomes frozen and eventually
stable.  If you change it to "unstable", you will always track the
release that is considered "unstable"; this will be a different
release with some as-of-yet undetermined name when woody freezes.
