Thanks for this.

Fortunately Debian has changed its handling of this and now
/usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions produces:

supported-versions: WARNING! Unknown distribution ID in /etc/os-release: devuan
debian found in ID_LIKE, treating as Debian
15

Which is sane. The warning is harmless. We will need to send a patch to Debian
to remove that completely, but functionally there will be no change. So,
lowering the severity to wishlist.
