  * Add VERSION_CODENAME to /etc/os-release. Closes: #1008735.
    This still respects the fact that Debian distributions do not have
    a version number until they are actually released as stable, but makes
    /etc/os-release a little bit more useful for those who use testing as
    a pre-release for the next stable. Those users are also the reason why
    in this case we are simply using the string "bookworm".
