To fix this, we need to modify python-apt to add some Kali specific files in data/templates (which get installed in /usr/share/python-apt/templates/ in python-apt-common).

This change should be submitted upstream (https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt).

The fix has been submitted here: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/python-apt/merge_requests/15

I also had to update base-files to add a VERSION_CODENAME value in /etc/os-release.

I wanted to upload a forked python-apt but it fails to build currently so I can't do it: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=932834

Our change has been merged in Debian, but it's only available in python-apt > 1.9.0 which is in experimental and has backwards incompatible changes so I will no import it for now. I'll wait until it reaches unstable/testing.

Latest python-apt is now available in kali so this should be fixed.
