[Bug 1812696] [NEW] APT doc and manpage uses wrong ubuntu-codename

[Eric Desrochers]

Public bug reported:

>From APT src code :

--- 
* trusty: 
apt-1.0.1ubuntu2.18/doc/apt-verbatim.ent:<!ENTITY ubuntu-codename "trusty"> 

* xenial: 
apt-1.2.29/doc/apt-verbatim.ent:<!ENTITY ubuntu-codename "trusty"> 

* bionic: 
apt-1.6.7/doc/apt-verbatim.ent:<!ENTITY ubuntu-codename "xenial"> 

* disco: 
apt-1.8.0~alpha3/doc/apt-verbatim.ent:<!ENTITY ubuntu-codename "xenial"> 
--- 

* vendor/ubuntu/sources.list.in 
--- 
# See sources.list(5) manpage for more information 
# Remember that CD-ROMs, DVDs and such are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

The ubuntu-codename variable for Bionic and late in APT points to Xenial
which generate the doc example with Xenial instead of the actual
codename.

* ./doc/sources.list.5.xml | grep -i verbatim 
--- 
<!ENTITY % aptverbatiment SYSTEM "apt-verbatim.ent"> %aptverbatiment; 
--- 

It also seems to affect the man page by mentionning 'xenial' for Bionic:
