// Within lines unattended-upgrades allows 2 macros whose values are
// derived from /etc/debian_version:
// ${distro_id} Installed origin.
// ${distro_codename} Installed codename (eg, "jessie")
When jessie becomes stable, /etc/debian_version will contain "8" or a
string in the form "8.x". As you can't derive "jessie" only from "8",
the comment is misleading, and the user will wonder if this will
continue to work when jessie becomes stable.
Thanks.
