Source: reportbug Version: 13.2.0 I think it would be helpful for bug triage if reportbug included information about when and how Debian was installed. Sometimes there are bugs which aren't as easily reproducible from a new install (like https://bugs.debian.org/1127710 ).
I noticed that the official Debian installer creates /var/log/installer/lsb-release which appears to have useful information. I requested that the Live installer do something like this too in https://bugs.debian.org/1127998 . I don't know if the Debian Cloud images provide a metadata field with the date of their image. 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, Jeremy Bícha
