Description

lsb_release / base-files in Debian unstable changed its output data, and thus facter reports different values. Because they contain a "/", facts upload fail with this error:

During the fact upload the server responded with: 500 Internal Server Error. Error is ignored and the execution continues.
{
 "error": {"message":"Validation failed: Major version is not a number, Major version Operating System version is required"}
}

facter output (from puppet-agent 7.21.0-1bullseye deb):

Fixes #35865 - Update future Debian release names and versions

Debian dropped the VERSION_ID from /etc/os-release of unreleased
releases (read: testing and unstable), which makes the common tools
report it as 'n/a'. See https://bugs.debian.org/1021663 for details.

The Puppet parser already coped with that by also looking at major
version which gets reported as '/sid' and now the Ansible parser gained similar logic (but looking at the codename) too. The list of upcoming releases is based on https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases
