Why not move the /etc/debian_version file into a separate package, and
for example include the release documentation in that package.  The
package could be called debian-version, and it would make it easier to
keep a separate version in testing and unstable.

The version number and the release notes are in my experience the last
two parts one want to update before a release, and it might make sense
to update those directly into testing, instead of going through sid.

Happy hacking,
