We have a number of _related_ things -- /etc/system-release, and the RPM

even having read the debian bugs. What do _you_ want to do with it?
IMHO it's about selecting different features at package build time.
As rpm supports macros, you would test some macro, e.g. %fedora_version
That's a SUSE-ism. Fedora's rpm utilizes %fedora.
or %_vendor.

3rd parties often override %_vendor, so this would not work well.
