  Please provide /etc/os-release

Status in “base-files” package in Debian:

Bug description:
  /etc/os-release is a new upcoming attempt of a standard which is meant
  to supersede /etc/debian_version, and their counterparts in
  Fedora/SUSE: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-
  release.html

  /etc/lsb_release is similar to this, but not standardized. The
  standard interface right now is to call lsb_release which is a Python
  script and thus a very high overhead compared to merely reading a
  file.
