[Bug 2069599] Re: ELF package metadata uses osVersion value that might change

[Julian Andres Klode]

This is a question for base-files, and as I have said on the mailing
list, we have technically committed to these version strings at archive
opening and it is used in various artefacts and third party places,
since we do set VERSION_ID in os-release - dpkg just inherits it.

Title:
  ELF package metadata uses osVersion value that might change

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  See: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  devel/2024-June/043027.html

  Blocking proposed migration for now pending discussion in case it
  helps. I'm not sure if this would stop the new dpkg being used in
  proposed builds or not though.
