That should change in a few days when a new base-files package enters
sid.

It's a known issue, see http://bugs.debian.org/508772.  If you're
relying on the output of lsb_release you can create an /etc/lsb-release
file like this (mine):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
DISTRIB_ID=Debian
DISTRIB_RELEASE=UNRELEASED
DISTRIB_CODENAME=sid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Otherwise it's mainly a cosmetic problem.
