The fix is to add (the appropriate place should be obvious) something like
- Code:
elif [ -e "$dir[slash]etc/devuan_version" ]; then
short="Devuan"
long="$(printf "Devuan GNU/Linux (%s)\n" "$(cat "$dir[slash]etc/devuan_version")")"
Ideally, recompile os-prober from source, or do it with a dpkg-divert. Depending how you installed or converted the relevant devuan system, etc/debian_version may also exist. Delete it.
You could edit there to reference any other distribution from a "version" file.
BTW thanks for the new versions.. sorry I been off the case lately, real life scenarios sometimes take priority.

If you boot with grub (from uefi) the e key will let you see and edit the boot command. This is part of the screw-up I mentioned before, but I forgot about the netconfig_opt and username_opt. Thanks for reporting. The entries should look like this:
- Code:
label live
menu label ${DISTRO} (default)
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live ${netconfig_opt} ${username_opt}
@dzz:
Welcome home! Glad to have you back. We're almost famous now that we're listed on Distrowatch.
