Package: base-files
Version: 13.7
There is an optional field in the /etc/os-release file, ANSI_COLOR, than can be
used to specify the branding colour of the operating system
(https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/os-release.html#ANSI_COLOR=).
Attached is a patch which sets this to the shade of burgundy in the Debian
logo, on a white background.

Thanks for the report, but this was already tried before and I still
think it is not a good idea:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758246
(See the changelog entry for base-files 7.6 at the very end of the thread)
[ Cc to Arnaud as he showed interest, but only FYI ]
Thanks.
