This is "schizophrenic", so to speak, and I don't think it is a good idea.

I've simply added VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm.

The only caveat is that testing and unstable are sides of the same coin,
but this is already explained in /usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ.

As a result, if you take the VERSION_CODENAME string and include it in a kernel version string somewhere, the meaning of such string is that the kernel image was created in either a bookworm or a sid distribution.

I think this is good enough for most purposes. If you need more fine-tuning, somebody should investigate what kind of magic lsb_release did in the past and reenable part of it.

Thanks.
