In my follow-up to this bug, I'll attach a patch. These fields are documented at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/os-release.html#HOME_URL= For comparison, Ubuntu sets these fields: DOCUMENTATION_URL="https://docs.ubuntu.com" PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy" I recommend including this in the next Debian 13 point release. A quick look at codesearch.debian.net suggests this field is already used by calamares, budgie-control-center, gnome-control-center, gnome-software, etc. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
Patch attached. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
severity 1142821 wishlist tags 1142821 - trixie thanks I'm adjusting metadata to reflect that both fields are optional. Please note that the Debian implementation of os-release is minimal on purpose. In general, I'm not adding new fields just because they exist, just because Ubuntu have them, or just because some software uses them while they are still optional. Thanks.
