This is not clever but does the job: if dpkg-divert --list /etc/os-release | grep -q os-release.debootstrap; then dpkg-divert --quiet --local --remove --no-rename /etc/os-release rm -f /etc/os-release ln -s ../usr/lib/os-release /etc/os-release fi However, the main problem is where to have it - I just checked a calamares installation, and there's no live-* packages unfortunately. Is there any calamares-specific package that is installed in these rootfses?
