After chatting with Andrés off-list (he is a long-time colleague of mine in
several LUGs and laboratories in Mexico City), I cannot but endorse his
suggestion. This change would only require adding a set of symlinks (one for
each {suite,named_release,architecture}¹ to our images in the mirrors, and will
most probably help discoverability and automation for our software.

¹ i.e. suite => {oldstable,stable,testing,unstable};
  named_release => {sid,trixie,bookworm,bullseye,...};
  architecture => {amd64,arm64,armel,armhf,riscv64,...}
