Looks good but I'd suggest that instead of using "lucid" in the various places where you have updated the release codename, we use an entity that will automatically keep this updated, so "&distro-short-codename;".

If that works, then would you mind added this to the different places where "lucid" appears?

Use &distro-short-codename; instead of 'lucid'
