Details:

This was noticed when installing Debian/sid when SolusOS (solusos.com) was
already installed on another partition.
It seems like os-prober doesn't pick up the proper name (SolusOS 2) and
replaces it with "unknown Linux distribution", but in the "Advanced options
for unknown Linux distribution" it uses the proper name in the menuentries.
