Dear Nye Liu

/usr/lib/os-release
does have enough informations to read the current suite name of the
installed system.

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/";
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support";
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/";

and running a single command like
"apt search base-files"
will give you the information if it is oldstable, stable, testing or
something else.

Example:

apt search base-files
Sortierung... Fertig
Volltextsuche... Fertig
base-files/oldstable,now 10.3+deb10u10 amd64  [installiert]
  Debian base system miscellaneous files


oldstable is in the line base-files/oldstable.


If you combine both, you will know the stable/testing to suite name
mapping of the current installed system.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards
Oliver
