Which reminded me of a discussion that happened here on the list and led
me to file http://bugs.devuan.org//cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=199 against the
"mirrors" pseudo-package.  In my case, `lsb_release -cs` yields 'n/a'.

There may or may not be an issue with lsb_release itself but there is
definitely an issue with the *_InRelease files for some of the package
repositories.  Is anyone looking at this?

Hope this helps,
