A couple of thoughts (I agree, I like the shortcuts too :).
We could support shortcut for the distroseries name independently of the
distro name, thus giving us urls like:
I think it's pretty common to refer to Ubuntu releases by their first letter;
maybe the same is not common for Debian. Anyway 'ubuntu:n/bzr' seems okay to
me, though I still would not oppose adding u: and d: shortcuts.
Either distro or distroseries shortcuts would be easy to add (using the
hard-coded mappings). How do we decide whether to add them back or not?
