If I use apt-cache instead:
# apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64
linux-image-amd64:
Installed: 4.9+80+deb9u5
Candidate: 4.9+80+deb9u5
Version table:
4.16+94~bpo9+1 100

*** 4.9+80+deb9u5 500

100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So the information about what are stable and testing must come from somewhere else?

]]>I (not quite) recently upgraded my system, but it looks like apt is still confused about my base system:
# apt search linux-image-amd64
Sorting... Done

linux-image-amd64/testing,now 4.9+80+deb9u5 amd64 [installed]

...
Here it indicates /testing instead of /stable or even better, /ascii. I am under the impression that the version should come from /etc/os-release but there is no such field in mine:
# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Devuan GNU/Linux ascii"

What is going on here?
