I thought the fact that I was exclusively talking about Debian made
that obvious, but sure, I can make it obvious-er :)

And so does Ubuntu... So at this point it actually might make more
sense to express the mapping as

  sheepdog:
    default:
    Fedora: sheepdog
    Ubuntu: sheepdog
    Debian9: sheepdog

to highlight the fact that shipping it is the exception rather than
the rule; accordingly, it also ends up being shorter O:-)

That's probably at least part of the reason why people have stopped
shipping it...
