FYI -

I just noticed, that since the debian-ports archive moved, 
this needs adjustment in the lsb-release package as well, otherwise
the codename for debian-ports architectures will not report "sid".
You can test yourself, it should report:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)
Release:        unstable
Codename:       sid

For that I opened https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827137

The python-escript package is one package which fails due to that change:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=python-escript&suite=sid
