The point was made on https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2024/08/msg00005.html
that 'pre-release sounds' like an RC candidate, ie, something that will change
very slightly in the released version. But this is not necessarily the case
for example at the beginnig of a Fedora Rawhide or Debian Testing release cycle,
so change it to a more generic 'development'

Follow-up for 7102dc52e6b03248da1f01b3a8a4b83c6d7a1316
