The suites in wanna-build use codenames, and there are no
"-proposed-updates" suites. wanna-build also exposes aliases for a
handful of suites, but not all ("wanna-build --distribution-aliases" on
buildd.d.do will give you a list), and I assume the alias list is
managed by hand. Due to both of those considerations, I'd suggest using
the codenames.
As a not-necessarily-complete list, which will obviously change RSN:
- experimental
- sid/unstable (default if no suite is specified)
- jessie/testing
- wheezy/stable
- {wheezy,stable}-security
- wheezy-backports
