Santiago, Thank you for the quick reply.

I would like to request this be a long term change. I didn't realize Debian 10 was so close to release and do not wish to disrupt that. In my research on this issue, I found at least some in the Debian community that would like the minor version included in /etc/os-release[1]. This is also causing problems for Ansible users that do rely on minor version information[2]. We have users downgrading to previous versions of Ansible[3] as a result. In the short term, I will implement my workaround. In the long term, I would appreciate if the Debian Release Managers would consider including the minor version in /etc/os-release. Thank you so much. --- Respectfully, Sam Doran Ansible Core [1]: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/382537 <https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/382531/the-version-number-of-my-debian#comment679870_382537> [2]: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57463 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/57463> [3]: https://github.com/jyundt/ansible_playbooks/commit/5af0585c9e1c51fdd328cda1ca95f5baf865a309 <https://github.com/jyundt/ansible_playbooks/commit/5af0585c9e1c51fdd328cda1ca95f5baf865a309>
