Is there a reason this must be done in base-files? Finnix currently does not patch base-files, and I'd rather not unless necessary. Currently I have a package, finnix-release, which sets /etc/lsb-release and uses that for other Finnix-specific identification within the OS. I'd like to add /etc/dpkg/origins/finnix to finnix-release, then change the /etc/dpkg/origins/default symlink to finnix in the postinst, which should not step on the back-files package itself (since the symlink is done there at postinst time as well).
