Package: base-files
Version: 10.3+devuan3.4

I'm using devuan beowulf, but some utilities, like screenfetch or
lsb_release, think it's debian. For example:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf)
Release:        3
Codename:       beowulf

I think we need
    ID=devuan
in /usr/lib/os-release.

Cheers,
