Is there some way of finding the Debian release number on a running
system (i.e. 0.93R6 or 1.1)? I wanted to retrieve this information in a
script but the only way I can figure out of doing so is to look for the
directory /usr/doc/debian-093R6 (or something pretty close to that). Is
there a better way of doing this that will work on later releases?
P.S. The script is an attempt to simplify the process of generating
meaningful bug reports for users new to debian but is not yet ready for
prime time.
