You know as well as I, that Debian releases have code names and version numbers just like other operating systems. I will admit that people tend to use the names more than the numbers but the same could also be said of ubuntu and Mac. Which OS X "cat" are you currently running?
Sarge = 3.1, Etch = 4.0 and Lenny will be 5.0. Indeed the code name is mostly used before the release (before a number has been allocated), once released the release number is used in official documents and the code name in quotes or parentheses if at all.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
