my /etc/issue looks like this:
 Debian GNU/\s testing/unstable \n \l

my login prompt starts with this:
 Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable roach tty3

guessing what the \s, \n and \l escape sequences do is left as an
exercise for the reader ;)

(they're all documented in getty(8), which is referred to from
issue(5))
