While I like your idea in principle I wonder whether it is
really reasonable to put this information into a conffile.
Everybody can change this to something else. Isn't it better
to implement a
/usr/bin/debian-release
that contains an option to get the real version number that
is hard coded anywhere if /etc/debian_version was changed?
Kind regards
Andreas.
