   The official Debian installer creates /var/log/installer/ with several   
   files. I think it would be helpful if the Debian Live installer   
   created /var/log/installer/lsb-release . I am filing this at a bit   
   higher priority because I think it can be useful for bug triage if we   
   know when and how Debian was installed. (That probably requires   
   reportbug to be updated to use the metadata from this file.)   
      
   Here's what the file looks like for a Debian install I did today with   
   the weekly testing netinst ISO.   
   $ cat /var/log/installer/lsb-release   
   DISTRIB_ID=Debian   
   DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux installer"   
   DISTRIB_RELEASE="13 (trixie) - installer build 20260209-00:02:35"   
   X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM=cdrom   
      
   And here's with a Debian 13 installer from the beginning of 2026. I   
   believe this was actually from the Debian 13.2 netinst ISO so the   
   metadata isn't as precise as would be ideal:   
   $ cat /var/log/installer/lsb-release   
   DISTRIB_ID=Debian   
   DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Debian GNU/Linux installer"   
   DISTRIB_RELEASE="13 (trixie) - installer build 20250803+deb13u2"   
   X_INSTALLATION_MEDIUM=cdrom   
      
   Thank you,
