Version: 1.0.14
Severity: wishlist

I got a little bit confused when first heard of the CODENAME-ID-
SUITE[-ROLLBACK] distuibution name. That is weird. I understand that there may
be multiple instances and packages may conflict. But this requires adjustments
of d/changelog, which is painful. I cannot download a dsc package and upload
without any modification.

I suggest that we provide a series of template similar to official Debian repo.
Unstable is unstable, stretch is stretch and jessie is jessie. Writing
"unstable" in d/changelog will upload to *that* unstable instead of being
REJECTED. Package versioning is never detected and do REJECT since they don't
need to. In such situations, there should be no migrations. Only one instance
should appear for official-like repos. The "globally unique" issue for
official-like repo should be the responsibility of the users, not mini-buildd.
This will surely avoid confusions and reduce complexity. I believe most of the
users only want a usable repository in which they can upload, build, test and
distribute their own softwares as if they are working with official Debian
repositories.
