 I have a local list with notes on whether it has a list of all dists or
 whether it has the concept of default series (e.g. default upload
 target):

 debootstrap: only list of dists
 lintian: only list of dists
 devscripts: both list of dists and default dist
 pbuilder: only default dist
 vim; only list of dists
 vm-builder: both list of dists and default dist
 ubuntu-dev-tools: both list of dists and default dist
 bzr-builddeb
 python-apt
 ubuntu-meta: only default dist
 update-manager


 I'm not sure ReleaseChecklist is the best place to document these, so
 I've not updated it; if someone knows an existing place to list these,
 I'm happy to merge my notes into it.
