Hmm...I think I would actually ask for a "production" value in
public-linux, entries with values of "proposed" and "production" for
beta-linux, and entries with all 3 values for alpha-linux - it seems
like a bad idea for the auto-updater to assume that one release implies
another.
I guess I should point out that such a change should have absolutely no
effect on any non-Debathena systems. For that matter, it won't have any
effect on Debathena systems yet.
