              tribution codenames composed of lower case ASCII letters are ac-
              cepted, and if the distribution does not qualify  as  oldstable,
              stable,  testing,  or unstable, then the same codename passed as
              argument is returned.

              that return a list, display the normal output followed by white-
              space and the number of days until the specified milestone.   If
              milestone  cannot  be calculated, the string '(unknown)' is dis-
