avoid the os-release "unmanaged" detection as it'd may bite us later on,
e.g., if an distro with "unmanaged" ID gets created and is super nice as
CT so we want to support it. Granted, not very likely, but maybe still
better to play safe. So, iow, let's only do the fallback for no os-release
file at all below.

Thanks!
