Dear Maintainer,

in virt-manager of debian/stable (Debian 12 aka bookworm), there is no entry for Debain 12 when the operating system has to be chosen. It is working with the "Debian 11" setting, however, it may be, that the presettings for Debian 12 has to be in another way.

Maybe you could take a look at it and fiy this little issue.

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards

Hans-J. Ullrich

Control: reassign -1 osinfo-db

virt-manager doesn't itself know about the various operating systems,
it simply pulls this information from osinfo-db via libosinfo.

AFAICT information about Debian 12 was added to osinfo-db in
v20230308, while bookworm comes with the earlier v20221130.

A targeted backport would be needed, but given the nature of this
package perhaps a rebase could be justified (and useful) as well.
