Hi,

thanks for pointing this out. Never heard of it before. I had a look at
the ftp-master API but it seems there is currently no link between
release number and code name and no way to tell whether a suite is
long-term supported.

https://api.ftp-master.debian.org/suite/wheezy

I guess I will contact the debian-dak list and request this feature. No
idea if the madison interface to UDD or tracker.debian.org provide more
information than that. For now I intend to use Guido's approach.

Regards,

Markus
