Decouple /etc/os-release from filesystem package #11

@sighook

Description

@sighook

Description:

Currently, the filesystem package ships /etc/os-release. This causes noise whenever we bump release metadata, since it forces a rebuild of filesystem even if nothing else changed.

Proposal:

  • Move /etc/os-release into a dedicated os-release package.
  • Version of os-release should track the actual Zeppe‑Lin release version (e.g. 1.2.2).
  • Use package revision bumps for metadata‑only changes.
  • Keep filesystem focused on directory layout and base paths, independent of release metadata.

Benefits:

  • Cleaner release tagging workflow.
  • Easier maintenance of rootfs and binpkgs.
  • Clearer separation of concerns between base filesystem and release metadata.
  • Reduces unnecessary rebuild noise.
