OK, I've found via my Maui VM that it was not correct - it updated from official Ubuntu repository, which I guess was added by the new Maui apt conf. The only valid version of base-files for Maui is the oldest one in the Synaptic version list - this one: 9+p8+git20160813.1003 - when I downgraded to it, the /etc/lsb-release is OK again:
So indeed, base-files should not be upgraded. Funny though that after I downgraded back to the Maui version, it doesn't want to upgrade it anymore ;-) As if it doesn't see the newer versions as it did before...
Code:
~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Maui"
