D'ouh. Of course, I meant to write "that's more than two years in
total".

Why 'short'? Take a look at this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history
Lenny was released in February 2009. If squeeze is released, say in
October 2010, Lenny will go out of support in October 2011. That's a
lifecycle of two years and eight months.

Yes and yes. Major releases have code names, point releases just
increment the version number by a fraction.
