Severity: important
If APT::Default-Release is set to a release name such as "sarge" or
"etch," it doesn't complain, but it doesn't work right, either. It seems
to only expect "stable," "testing," or "unstable." When I attempted a
dist-upgrade with the following:
#/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf
APT::Default-Release "sarge";
it tried to upgrade from sid. Setting the default release to stable
instead of sarge seemed to resolve the problem.

This is as intended, and all of the examples in the documentation use the
proper names.
