builddeb: rename --release option to --codename Debian and Ubuntu releases have both codenames and traditional version numbers. An entire "branch" of releases is referred to by its codename, and version numbers (e.g. 8.2, 14.04.3) are used to address individual releases. Since we use codenames for building .deb packages, let's call the option and the variable appropriately.

 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup

Running without installing:
