Adam, I'm going to ignore this now, because you are refusing to do a few things:

1. one, you aren't providing the requested debugging information.

2. two, you keep believing that the fallback /etc/issue is the default value being printed, for no actual reason I can see other than you believe it's the case, when it's the exact opposite, /etc/issue is used if and only if all other tests have failed. All. This means you have no /etc/debian_version, no /etc/os-release, no /etc/lsb-release, all have been removed from the system. In other words, you are not running a standard debian system, obviously.

I can't really make it any more clear, /etc/issue is used if and only if ALL other possible distro identification methods have failed. It makes no difference what you want to believe or state about this, and if you provide no debugging data, this bug should be closed, since the poster has not added a word that contributes to fixing any potential issue.

3. you aren't even providing the requested debugger info for inxi, which is: inxi -S -% so we can see what is actually being suppressed, and from where.

Since these things take seconds to do, I assume you have some valid reason for not providing the data requested while continuing to talk about things that have no meaning for this issue in all likelihood.

My apologies to the maintainer, there's nothing I can do for you here since the user refuses to provide any meaningful feedback.

Saying "It's not working in 2.2.28" is absurd, this has nothing to do with 2.2.28, zero. Let me quote from the great Debian IRC factoid:

!doesn't work
[16:45] <Bot`> user: doesn't work is Look buddy, "doesn't work" is a vague statement. Does it sit on the couch all day long? Does it procrastinate doing the dishes? Does it beg on the street for change? Please be specific! Define 'it' and what it isn't doing. Give us more details so we can help you without needing to ask basic questions like "what's the error message".

Or in this case, basic info like: what does it print out when you run inxi with the requested debugger option, -%

Then you, the user, find which files contains that string, and then you report which file it's coming from. Then, as a debian user, you would explain why the standard debian release files, /etc/debian_version and /etc/os-release have been removed from your system.

So good luck with that, I apologize to unit193 and the debian maintainer, you 
can't win them all.

I'll give you a hint: this will never 'work' until you provide the data requested. And then it will simply expose almost certainly something you did. Not 100% certain, but very likely.

Out.
