So what is the suggested solution? Should I change my entry in /etc/sources.list?
The following bash command parses the Release files for Sarge, Etch and Lenny and prints the respective Codename and Suite fields: for dist in sarge etch lenny; do { wget -q -O - "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/$dist/Release" | head -n 10; wget -q -O - "http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/${dist}-proposed-updates/Release" | head -n 10; } | grep -E "^(Codenam|Suit)e:"; done Currently the output is: Suite: oldstable Codename: sarge Suite: oldstable-proposed-updates Codename: sarge-proposed-updates Suite: stable Codename: etch Suite: proposed-updates Codename: etch-proposed-updates Suite: testing Codename: lenny Suite: testing-proposed-updates Codename: testing-proposed-updates So http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny-proposed-updates/Release is the only one that doesn't has a codename in the Codename field. This still holds true when checking http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/Release. (I didn't add it to the command above because obviously there is no sid-proposed-updates.) So in my eyes the right fix is to change the Codename field in the Release file for lenny-proposed-updates. This would make the file consistant to the other six.
