Both woody and sarge have Archive: stable in the Release file. That
affects package pinning, release a=stable does no longer differentiate
between them.

Version: 0.7.22
Thanks for your reports and especially thanks for the patch Ryan Murray!
The patch was a good base but is now a bit more general
to not only support codenames in pin-files.
The issue should be fixed in 0.7.22:
extracted from the changelog:
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* [ABI break] Allow pinning by codename (closes: #97564)
Note: The char chosen to represent the codeName is n=
a= is as before for archive. Without a a= or n= both are checked.
So the line:
Pin: release n=squeeze
is equal to
Pin: release squeeze
See also apt_preference (5) for details on pinning to a codename.
This commit also made it possible to use codenames in
--target-release and in pkg/codename
So the commands
apt-get install awesome/unstable
and
apt-get install awesome/sid
are equal and work now as expected.
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
