Package: base-files
Version: 12.3
Followup-For: Bug #1008735
X-Debbugs-Cc: witold.bary...@gmail.com

I am somehow confused by the current solution in base-files 12.3.

bookworm:

$ lsb_release -s -i -d -r -c
No LSB modules are available.
Debian
Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid
n/a
bookworm
$

sid:

$ lsb_release -s -i -d -r -c 
No LSB modules are available.
Debian
Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid
n/a
bookworm
$



How one can distinguish between testing / bookworm and sid now? Do I need
to parse files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ now, maybe using `apt-cache
policy base-files` ?

There are practical situations where bookworm and sid are out of sync for
months, and this is important to distinguish in many places.

Regards,
Witold
