Quoting Stuart Prescott (stuart+debian@nanonanonano.net): > Package: apt > Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1 > Severity: wishlist > Tags: patch > > At present, the man page for the sources.list file has the following example: > > deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free I entirely agree this should be fixed. I'd prefer getting ACK from other people who happen to work on APT maintenance (I do not consider myself an APT maintainer even though I commit things from time to time). Your patch is simple enough, I think, even though it suffers from potential outdateness when "lenny" will be an old story in 10 years...:-))...but it's much better than having "stable" that goes against all recommended practice (and against what's done by the installer, FWIW).
