I am somehow confused by the current solution in base-files 12.3.
Please note that what I did in 12.3 does not try to solve everything,
only what it was feasible to do in base-files. I do not claim that the
situation may not improve, only that such improvement, if any, should
come from some place other than base-files.

How one can distinguish between testing / bookworm and sid now? Do I need
to parse files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ now, maybe using `apt-cache
policy base-files` ?
Yes, looking at your apt sources would be a good idea. Note that the
unability to determine the distribution just by looking at files
provided by base-files has been the case for a lot of time, in fact it
is documented in the base-files FAQ:
/usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ
However, just because the real distribution may be inferred by looking
at your apt sources does not necessarily mean that you have to do that
by hand. In theory, it would be possible to modify lsb_release command
so that it looks at your apt sources for you.
But that's not something that may be done in base-files anymore.
Thanks.
