/etc/debian_version :
jessie/sid
which is what one might expect: that's the Debian version that this
ubuntu release is based on. (Putting the Debian point-release here
would be meaningless.)
But ubuntu does not employ a /etc/ubuntu_version file, so os-release
and lsb-release are reasonable alternative locations for indicating
their point-release.
Regardless, I can't see any error in the quotation of Andrew M.A. Cater
that was made by Jonathan de Boyne Pollard (who seemed to be putting
words into his mouth).
