That most (all?) release are links to the same config shows that there isn't a need for individual configs for each codename. Instead any Ubuntu release that doesn't have a specific config should fall back to a default ubuntu config. Similary any Debian release should have a fallback to a default Debian config. That way debootstrap wouldn't need an update every time a new codename is added and wouldn't need backports jsut to add a single link.
