 After an olpc-upgrade --usb to candidate-765, I noticed the line of text
 in a virtual terminal and in `cat /etc/issue` is:
 {{{
    OLPC build 765 (stream 8.2; variant devel_jffs2)
                                        ^^^^^?
 }}}
 I think "devel_jffs2" has always been in /etc/issue.

 According to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images#Image_variants ,
 "devel Contains tools useful for developers of the OLPC operating
 system, including: yum, rpm, vim-minimal, openssh-server, xterm, which,
 file, tree, wget, xorg-x11-twm, gdb packages"

 My OS only has some of those.  I think these days there isn't a "Normal
 image" any more, just devel_   So the term isn't meaningful and if it
 appears in the official 8.2.0 image users will confuse "devel" with having
 a developer key or a developer build.
