X-Clacks-Overhead: GNU Terry Pratchett

Package: distro-info
Version: 1.7
Severity: normal

Just noticed this.  Tried --devel, --stable, but they all only return
Debian's codenames.  

I see that it requires a 'devuan-distro-info' binary, which is
missing, even distro-info-data does have data for Devuan.

So, what's the point?  What am I missing?

Nothing really. I suppose since /usr/share/distro-info/devuan.csv from
distro-info-data is pretty easy to use and parse, nobody has written
devuan-distro-info in C.
