Is there a chance to build this for Debian Bullseye? I've used the "focal"
files under debian/.

In a Buster build, I get

-- Configuring for Debian package on Debian-10--amd64

while for Bullseye, this reads

-- Configuring for Debian package on Debian---amd64

- apparently "testing" doesn't have all the /etc/os-release information in
place yet?
... but this leads, in  astraight manner, to

Is there a way to outsmart Debian version detection? Unlike Ubuntu Focal, Bullseye
isn't official yet...

Thanks,
