From the end of  /usr/share/doc/preupgrade-1.0.1/README:

== Adding Custom Distributions ==
preupgrade searches the following locations for release data, in order:
  ./releases.txt
  ./data/releases.txt
  http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt
If you want to add your own distribution to preupgrade: download
releases.txt, edit it to your liking, then run preupgrade from that
dir - or save it to ~/releases.txt to make it work when preupgrade
is run normally.


Please note that /usr/share/preupgrade/releases.list is ignored and
is only being shipped for compatibility reasons. Use ~/releases.txt
for customization.
