That information come from python2.7 'lsb_release' module..

root@desktop0:~# python2.7
Python 2.7.13 (default, Sep 26 2018, 18:42:22)
[GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import lsb_release
>>> distinfo = lsb_release.get_distro_information()
>>> print(distinfo.get('RELEASE', 'n/a'))

2.0


I will try to trace it, to its origin..

Best Regards,
