  Subj: Bug#1111238: unattended-upgrades: Macro   
 From: sanvila@debian.org 
  
 Package: unattended-upgrades 
 Version: 2.12 
  
 Dear maintainer: 
  
 File data/50unattended-upgrades.Debian in the source 
 (and other similar files as well) has a comment 
 saying this: 
  
 // Within lines unattended-upgrades allows 2 macros whose values are 
 // derived from /etc/debian_version: 
 //   ${distro_id}            Installed origin. 
 //   ${distro_codename}      Installed codename (eg, "buster") 
  
  
 Maybe it should say this instead: 
  
 // derived from /etc/debian_version and /etc/os-release: 
  
 In fact, I'm not really sure if /etc/debian_version is still 
 used these days, so maybe the right fix is to put os-release only, 
 I don't really know. 
  
 Note: I noticed about this because this thread from the debian-user 
 mailing list: 
  
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2025/08/msg00477.html 
  
 where one Debian user had a non-working unattended-upgrade command 
 due to bug #1111039 in live-build. Including /etc/os-release in the 
 comment would probably have made the bug to be diagnosed faster. 
  
 Thanks.
