This is not the answer to your question but in Devuan-Ascii:

xxx:~$ cat /etc/issue
Devuan GNU/Linux ascii/ceres \n \l

xxx:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux ascii/ceres"
NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux"
ID=devuan
HOME_URL="http://www.devuan.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.devuan.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.devuan.org/"

Maybe in a new install of Devuan-Jessie it is already sorted out.
