I think it's because none of the point releases for Debian 10 have
been installed on that host, so it's not received any update to the
base-files package (for /etc/os-release) that would show the point
release (e.g. 10.10).

$ head -3 /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"

But this is besides the point as it is normal for a Debian release
to show as not having decimals for some period of time. So we do have
to be aware what testing ansible_distribution_version against x.0
will do, apparently. Whether that test is newer, older or equality.

Cheers,
Andy
