Wait, you'd prefer an untrue, nongeneric and revealing value passed in
your mail headers to the generic and truthful representation of your
system?
Go ahead and build the package that way and want to have mail headers
that uniquely reveal your choice linux distribution?
Did you think this through? I mean, yeah, Arch has its benefits, but
I'm not sure security is of no concern at all for it.

cheers!
