Hi,

IMO my version of distributions.json did the same thing. We only can
deduce the version from the package, so the version was the key and the
values were "lts", "oldstable", "stable". Everything else is not supported.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=2;bug=878088;filename=distribution.json;msg=45

For the next LTS this file would look like

8: "lts"
9: "stable"

and then

8: "lts"
9: "oldstable"
10: "stable"


More information is not required. The code looks like that:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?att=1;bug=878088;filename=reportbug.debdiff;msg=45


Of course I can also use the new json file. If I don't hear any further
objections I am going to use

https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/distributions.json

from now on. I intend to release an update of reportbug for Wheezy next
week. Please contact me if you are interested in an upgrade for Jessie
and Stretch as well.

Regards,

Markus
