"Potato" is the name of the prior stable 2.2 release. "Woody"
is the current stable 3.0 release. "Sid" is the as-yet-unnumbered
unstable tree.

Eventually, Sid will be come stable enough to be moved to testing, and
a new unstable branch with a new name will be launched. 

Debian 2.1 was "Slink." I have no idea what anything before that was
called.

I think the naming scheme should become obvious aftaer a point *grin*
