+base-files (8) unstable; urgency=low

+ * Release for jessie as stable:
+ - Use "8" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net. As usual, this
+ is never expected to change once that jessie is released as Debian 8.
+ - Use 8.0 as version in /etc/debian_version. As usual, this is expected
+ to change at every point release.
+ - Changed PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 8 as version number
+ and "(jessie)" as codename. Added also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
+ This file, /usr/lib/os-release, is not expected to change either.
+ - Updated README (jessie -> stretch).
+ * Packages are not expected to rely on the contents of any of these
+ files, but if they do, they might better break now while we can still
+ fix them.

was initially uploaded for unstable, the only sensible /etc/issue to
have is one that is both valid for testing and unstable, hence

A. The codename is a little bit more informative, as the meaning of
"testing" changes over time.
