Comment:

 -development does in fact imply -proposed, and must continue to do so
 unless we change our workflow, and we're not doing _that_.

 Here's where we use APT_RELEASE and how we treat it:
 - auto-update: development implies proposed
 - the installer: queries Hesiod directly, development does not imply
 proposed

 Possible solutions:
 - Punt apt_release in favor of a "sourceslist" tag pointing to a
 sources.list file in AFS, though we'd either need one per distro/release
 or we'd need to swap in the codename.
 - Decide that development does imply proposed, and that bleeding implies
 development + proposed
 - Something else
